About this audiobook
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 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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A non stop diatribe of one shameful lie after another. This author is an embarrassment to the profession and
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5“Black lives can matter but it will demand a struggle to not only change the police but to change the world that relies on the police to manage its unequal distribution of the necessities of life.”
This book is a necessary read. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good history of racism in the US, though a bit more fervent than I'd like; sometimes the anger gets in the way of the argument or structure of the book. On the other hand, I'd be pretty fervent if I had to put up with this shit everyday of my life, so you can write that off as white privilege. And in any case, this is an excellent example of why attempts to deal with racism must be social as well as political; and why the fight against anti-Black racism must aim ultimately at genuine racial equality, and not at more simplistic identity political posturing about, you know, your white privilege.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An excellent, if dense, look into where Black Lives Matter came from and where it might be going. A lot of history I should have known already, and some well put ideas. I could see the parts that were more "work" for the author - when we hit more recent events the writing became easier to read, and when it moved into theoretical ideas it densed up again. I highly recommend it.
