On February 4th, 1999, 23-year-old Guinean immigrant Amadou Diallo was returning home from work to his Bronx apartment when four officers of New York City's Street Crimes Unit, after confusing him for an at-large serial rapist, gunned him down in a hail of 41 bullets under contested circumstances. In this work, Roy (peace and conflict studies, U. of California at Berkeley) explores the multiple meanings of Diallo's death and their implications for politics, race, class, crime, and social justice in the United States through interviews with the community, police officers, government officials, and others about the shooting, the trial and eventual acquittal of the police officers for second-degree murder, and related events.
