From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation Audiobook (Free)

The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Michael Dark brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City possess challenged the impunity with which officers of regulations carry out violence against dark people and punctured the illusion of a postracial America. The Dark Lives Matter motion has awakened a new era of activists.

With this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and modern ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as for example mass incarceration and black unemployment. Within this context, she argues that this fresh struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader drive for black liberation.
