Gringo Injustice is a path-breaking collection, destined to be the definitive resource on Latinos/as in the criminal justice system. Combining a range of sociological and legal frameworks with "insider" experiences, the book casts new light on the dual system of justice that produces some of the most pressing challenges facing Latinos today. Maxine Baca Zinn, Michigan State UniversityAlfredo Mirandé and the book's contributors have produced an audacious volume of theoretically grounded and empirically driven work treating each with lucidity and grace. Rodolfo D. Torres, University of California, Irvine, and coauthor of Capitalism and Critique: Unruly Democracy and Solidarity Economics. Books on the criminal "justice" system have typically focused on African Americans. Alfredo Mirandé’s Gringo Justice is a wonderful correction to this trend. The chapters are powerfully written by scholars, activists, lawyers, and historians and address various justice issues affecting Latinos (e.g., police shootings of unarmed Latinos, projects to attempt to curb police violence against Latinos, inter-ethnic conflict in prisons, racialized anti-gang policies, and surveillance). I highly recommend this book and will use it myself in my classes. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University, author of Racism without Racists
