从# BlackLivesMatter到黑人解放是对种族主义，结构性不平等，大规模监禁和警察暴力侵害黑人的深刻和历史分析，被称为“后种族美国”。这本书深入分析了美国黑人历史从奴隶制到现在的进步，提供了对黑人社区所遭受的多种压迫的见解。警察骚扰和国家批准的暴力行为的持续流行在这一历史回顾中变得更加明显，它将过去公然的种族暴力案件与当前与种族有关的不公正进行了比较。在她的书中，泰勒提出了一个至关重要的问题：为什么# BlackLivesMatter运动在黑人担任总统期间出现？在# BlackLivesMatter抗议活动的大规模扩张期间撰写，从# BlackLivesMatter到黑人解放追溯了运动对Trayvon Martin，Michael Brown，Eric Garner和许多其他人死亡后系统性警察谋杀的早期反应。这篇报道是在巴拉克·奥巴马担任总统期间写的，它突出了种族主义加剧和第一位黑人总统当选之间的矛盾。这本书探讨了美国黑人的幻灭，不仅是对美国政府和整个资本主义社会的幻灭，也是对本应保护他们个人权利和自由的司法制度的幻灭。这场运动的积极分子拒绝了美国是“自由之地”的幻想，也不是一个平等机会的国家，他们揭露了现实，在许多方面，奴隶制仍然存在。泰勒斯的书承认压迫和警察暴行的结构性本质，同时详细描述了排斥黑人的美国梦的众多矛盾。她的分析考虑了困扰美国下层黑人社区的历史和当代问题，如毒品和贫困。她认为，这些问题是一个破碎的制度的直接结果，惩罚黑人的制度造成的问题。这本书清晰简洁，事实确凿，令人信服，正是美国黑人应得的知识声音。
From# BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation is an insightful and historical analysis of racism, structural inequality, mass incarceration, and police violence against blacks in the triumphantly dubbed “post-racial America.” This book thoroughly analyzes the progress of black-history in the USA from slavery until now, providing insight on the many kinds of oppression that black communities have endured. The ongoing epidemic of police harassment and state-sanctioned violence grows clearly apparent in this historical overview, which compares past cases of blatant racial violence with current race-related injustice. Throughout her book, Taylor poses a vital question: Why did the# BlackLivesMatter movement emerge during a black man’s term as president?Written during a major expansion of the# BlackLivesMatter protests, From# BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation traces the movements’ early responses to systematic police murders, following the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and many others. The account was written during the time of Barack Obamas’ presidency, which highlights the seeming contradiction between increased racism and the election of the first black president. The account explores black Americans’ disillusionment, not only with the American government and capitalist society as a whole, but also with the justice system that was supposedly established to protect their individual rights and freedoms. This movement’s activists have rejected the illusions that America is the “land of the free,” nor a country of equal opportunity, and they have exposed the reality that, in many ways, slavery still exists. Taylors’ book acknowledges the structural nature of oppression and police brutality while detailing the numerous contradictions of an American dream that excludes blacks. Her analysis considers both historical and contemporary issues that have plagued Americas’ lower-class black communities, such as drugs and poverty. She argues that these issues are direct results of a broken system that punishes black people for the problems that the system creates. The book is clear and concise, factual and convincing, and exactly the intellectual voice that black Americans deserve.
