 an Especially Notable Book\n\nThe 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.\n\n"This brilliant book is the best 
 analysis we have of the #BlackLivesMatter moment of the long struggle for 
 freedom in America. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor has emerged as the most 
 sophisticated and courageous radical intellectual of her generation." -Dr. 
 Cornel West\n  \n"Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor's searching examination of the 
 social, political and economic dimensions of the prevailing racial order 
 offers important context for understanding the necessity of the emerging 
 movement for black liberation." -Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow\n  
 \nKeeanga-Yamahtta Taylor's writings on Black politics, social movements, 
 and racial inequality in the United States have been published in many 
 publications. \n\nAnita Johnson co-hosts KPFA's Hard Knock Radio with Davey 
 D.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
