Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present by Robyn Maynard

5.0

This is a phenomenal, must-read book for white Canadians. Unlike my initial perception, this book isn't just about the impacts of policing on Black folks; rather, it chronicles the full history of anti-Black racism in Canada. It is horrifying and discouraging at times but incredibly necessary for those of us wishing to do better by our Black friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. Highly, highly recommend.
