From #blacklivesmatter to Black Liberation by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

4.0

As someone whose public education of Black America following the 60s was full of holes, this book gives a really concise history from the 60s up until 2016 through a leftist/anti-capitalist lens. She covers phenomena like the false colorblind approach to policy of the Nixon years, the growing distance between the civil rights elite and the modern crop of activists, and the fact that Black Women are the driving force of this current moment.
