Table Of Contenttable of contents Introduction: Ferguson is the Future A Culture of Racism From Kerner to Colorblind Black Faces in High Places Hope, Change and "I Can't Breathe" Black Liberation and the Struggle for Freedom in the 21st century

SynopsisAn indispensable contribution to the movement for racial justice in 'postracial' America. Winner of the 2016 Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize for an Especially Notable BookThe 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 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.
