The Ferguson Report: An Erasure

Více o knize

The book explores the aftermath of the tragic shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the subsequent Department of Justice report revealing systemic racism in policing and court practices. Acclaimed poet Nicole Sealey creatively revisits this report through an act of erasure, preserving key language while removing portions of the text to highlight its impact. This work serves as a profound meditation on the realities of racial injustice and the importance of bearing witness in a troubling era, emphasizing the weight of the original document on contemporary society.
