Super Short Summary

From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor examines the emergence and significance of the Black Lives Matter movement within the broader context of Black resistance and institutional racism in the United States. Taylor explores how systemic issues like American exceptionalism, colorblindness, and the rise of a Black elite have perpetuated inequality, and how the tenure of President Obama influenced the movement's rise. The book also delves into the role of the police, the Ferguson rebellion, and the potential for socialism and multiracial solidarity to drive radical political and economic transformation.
