From #blacklivesmatter to Black Liberation by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

5.0

Since around 2017 I have read a lot of Taylor's articles, but hadn't made time to read this. I think it s far and away the best introduction to the Movement for Black Lives. I particularly found the chapters on the development of "colorblind politics" and the transition from the Civil Rights Movement to the rise of the CBC and Black electoral politics really informative and compelling. The last chapter makes a reasoned, yet passionate plea for working class solidarity that is not only beautifully written but devastating in its implication and somehow hopeful in the face of cascades disasters. Required reading.
