Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present by Robyn Maynard

5.0

I received more Canadian history in the first two chapters of this book than I did in my entire schooling. This book is not an easy read. It is well written and flows well, but the subjects highlighted shine a bright spotlight into the dark corners of Canadian systematic racism and the ongoing issues.

Everybody should read this book to gain (additional) insight and understanding of the struggles the Black and Indigenous communities have been fighting against since the first European stepped on this soil.
