About the Book:A hard-hitting exploration of how state policy displaces and isolates Black communities and how collective resistance creates spaces for working-class people of color to identify the true cause of conflict as capitalism and white supremacy Marginalized communities often become understandably preoccupied with a city’s structured attempt to deem them disposable, making it difficult to see people experiencing the same suffering as potential comrades in struggle. Enemies are manufactured as the result of continued displacement, hyper-segregation, and dispossession. Under these impossible circumstances people are often quicker to punch each other before they identify the enemy as white supremacy and capitalism, creating a society where conflict is engineered.Dr. Stovall was an contributor to the 2018 book Twenty-First-Century Jim Crow Schools, which William Ayer saw as a look at the impact of charter school and a guidebook to save public schools. His attention to schools is evidenced in his supprt by writing a forward for the recently published book Beyond Bad Apples: Teacher Education for Police Free Schools. About the Author:David Omotoso Stovall is a professor in the Department of Black Studies and Criminology, Law &amp; Justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the author of Born Out of Struggle: Critical Race Theory, School Creation and the Politics of Interruption.
