A review by joeh
From #blacklivesmatter to Black Liberation by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

5.0

Probably the best book I've read about the Black experience in America. Taylor does a masterful job of dissecting the interlocking racial, political and socioeconomic realities that have contributed to the ongoing marginalization of Black people and the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement. She's an incisive writer and injects a level of elegance that exceeds many of the other offerings I've read from her peers. That said, her analysis is erudite and can be fairly complex, particularly when the enormity of her arguments resonate. This makes this particular book probably not something I would recommend as an introduction to the subject. That said, it's beyond excellent and something that everyone/anyone should read at some point.
