Where it came from
Black in Blue was published by Routledge in 1993 as part of a growing body of academic literature focused on the experiences of minority officers within police departments. Written by Ken and F. Bolton, the book examines the intersections of race and professional identity, specifically highlighting the systemic challenges and social isolation faced by Black police officers in the United States during the late 20th century.
The text serves as a sociopolitical study, drawing on qualitative interviews and historical context to articulate the double consciousness inherent in the role of a Black officer policing their own communities. Routledge positioned this work as a critical contribution to sociology and criminal justice studies, aiming to offer a voice to those operating within institutional hierarchies that frequently marginalized their perspectives and concerns.
