Summary
As police racism unsettles Britain’s tolerant self-image, Black Resistance to British Policing details the activism that made movements like Black Lives Matter possible. Elliott-Cooper analyzes racism beyond prejudice and the interpersonal–arguing that Black resistance confronts a global system of racial classification, exploitation, and violence.
Imperial cultures and policies, as well as colonial war and policing, highlight connections between these histories and contemporary racisms. But this is a book about resistance, considering Black liberation movements in the 20th century while utilizing a decade of activist research covering spontaneous rebellion, campaigns, and protest in the 21st century. Drawing connections between histories of resistance and different kinds of Black struggle against policing is vital, it is argued, if we are to challenge the cutting edge of police and prison power that harnesses new and dangerous forms of surveillance, violence, and criminalisation.
