The Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment.
