Summary

The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City have challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against Black people and punctured the illusion of a postracial America. The Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists. 

In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and the persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. In this context, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.

Importante book and excellent performance

Not surprised this is an awarded book. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor does a fantastic research unpacking the historical aspects of institutional racism that builds US America. She points out to the contradictions of the Black movement and the potential towards our liberation. Mia Ellis brings light to the words with her intonation through the reading. I loved it. Every single word of it.
