A must-read for anyone who wants to learn and more importantly un-learn the historical context of black oppression in the US! It was a compelling read which unpacks the entire political economy on which the racial oppression is based on.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, even if you think you're already familiar with the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Taylor provides an overview of the history of the fight for civil rights in the US, how and why different waves of the movements died, and how they got to where they are now. There are some things in here about the way North-American institutions work that I was horrified by. I swear, the more I learn about the US, the more dystopian it is.
