Making All Black Lives Matter
Making All Black Lives Matter: Reimagining Freedom in the Twenty-First Century | Barbara Ransby
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
"A powerful — and personal — account of the movement and its players."—The Washington Post “This perceptive resource on radical black liberation movements in the 21st century can inform anyone wanting to better understand . . . how to make social change.”—Publishers Weekly The breadth and impact of Black Lives Matter in the United States has been extraordinary. Between 2012 and 2016, thousands of people marched, rallied, held vigils, and engaged in direct actions to protest and draw attention to state and vigilante violence against Black people. What began as outrage over the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin and the exoneration of his killer, and accelerated during the Ferguson uprising of 2014, has evolved into a resurgent Black Freedom Movement, which includes a network of more than fifty organizations working together under the rubric of the Movement for Black Lives coalition. Employing a range of creative tactics and embracing group-centered leadership models, these visionary young organizers, many of them women, and many of them queer, are not only calling for an end to police violence, but demanding racial justice, gender justice, and systemic change. In Making All Black Lives Matter, award-winning historian and longtime activist Barbara Ransby outlines the scope and genealogy of this movement, documenting its roots in Black feminist politics and situating it squarely in a Black radical tradition, one that is anticapitalist, internationalist, and focused on some of the most marginalized members of the Black community. From the perspective of a participant-observer, Ransby maps the movement, profiles many of its lesser-known leaders, measures its impact, outlines its challenges, and looks toward its future.

Thought this was interesting. An article about how much white authors are paid in advances compared to black authors.

LibrarianRyan There has been a big thing on Twitter under the #publisherspaidme tag with authors sharing what they got paid to others know what to expect. It's been interesting, 4y
Scochrane26 @LibrarianRyan That‘s what this article is about. I‘m not on Twitter, so I end up reading about it on buzzfeed. 4y
LibrarianRyan @Scochrane26 Sorry about that. I hadn't read the article yet. It has just been interesting watching it play out. I don't do twitter much, mainly for book giveaways. So i follow a lot of authors. 4y
Scochrane26 @LibrarianRyan The article only highlights a few authors. I‘m sure more have replied on Twitter. I know the authors I follow on insta have been vocal lately about BLM. I guess the answer for the money disparity is to buy more books by black authors? 4y
LibrarianRyan @Scochrane26 Definitely helps. 4y
