Answer:

First person

Step-by-step explanation:

Shad is a character in the book and yet he has the ability to narrate the events and experiences he participated in, as well as being able to present his own thoughts and feelings about everything he is going through. When a character is also a narrator we can call his narrative voice "First person." This type of narrative voice can be identified when the narrator is also a character in the story and tells how everything happened from his own point of view. Also, this type of narrative voice has many personal pronouns like I, my, me, we.

"All American Boys" is a novel focused on showing police violence with black American boys, who suffer the most terrible police punishments for crimes they didn't commit, in a highly racist and intolerant society like the American one.
