Abstract :

This article examines police oppression against Black Americans as portrayed in Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give. The police actions in both the novel and broader American society reveal issues beyond public safety; these actions deeply rooted in systemic racism. The study aims to show how the U.S. policing system implicitly maintains Black subjugation by reinforcing racial hierarchies and white supremacy. Using Critical Race Theory, developed by Kimberlé Crenshaw et al., the analysis explores the intersection of race and power within legal and law enforcement institutions. By highlighting these realities, Thomas contributes to the ongoing fight for justice, equality, and the dismantling of systemic racism in America.
