jinjan 's review for:
State of Emergency
by Tamika D. Mallory
informative
reflective
medium-paced
The audio book is great, as is the actual content of the book. Mallory goes through and outlines things that make being black in the United States dangerous and deadly. A lot of this is focused on recent events and activism, as she herself is an organizer. Learning about the racism behind the Women's March is unsurprising and informative.
I think this would be a great book for people outside of the United States trying to understand black rights, activism, and politics in this decade. It's also a great book for those trying to understand what drives organizers to take up that job and to carry on that fight despite set backs and hardship. While I didn't necessarily learn a ton of new information, its important to me that I continue to listen to black activist's perspectives and experiences.
