Five seasoned journalists probe the shift in mainstream American political consciousness that culminated in nationwide protests during summer 2020âafter Police Officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd on cameraâand the preceding history of inequality and anti-Black racism that finally forced a national tipping point.
What The Reviewers Say
By bringing together five journalists who each offer a take on the buildup to that summer [of 2020], the book functions as a time capsule that hopefully will be useful to future historians as they assess not just the impact of the protests but also the history of the police violence, and the organizing, that led to them.
The essays can be read as standalone pieces, but it's useful to have them in one volume.
In this sweeping if uneven survey, five Black journalists explore how racism and the fight for racial justice have shaped America’s past and present.
... [a] hit-and-miss book.
