Received as a digital advance readers copy from Edelweiss. Hinton traces the history of rebellions in the face of police and white citizen violence against black populations. The cycle is familiar. Protest, Commissions give recommendations, and then nothing is enforced and things settle until the next death brings more protests and the cycle repeats. The introduction and first few chapters are a bit fragmented but it quickly comes together.
