America on Fire: The Untold History of Police Violence and Black Rebellion Since the 1960s by Elizabeth Hinton

5.0

A really well-organized modern history that is most impressive in its documentary record (well, among other things). I found the text to be a really insightful tracing of not simply events but also committee findings, opinion polls, political statements, legal precedent, and other sources. The text weaved various sources together in a really effective way to provide a deep and complete picture of regional and National rebellions in response to systemic abuse.
