They Can't Kill Us All: The Story of Black Lives Matter (Penguin Orange Spines)

In over a year of on-the-ground reportage, Washington Post writer Wesley Lowery traveled across the US to uncover life inside the most heavily policed, if otherwise neglected, corners of America today.

In an effort to grasp the scale of the response to Michael Brown's death and understand the magnitude of the problem police violence represents, Lowery conducted hundreds of interviews with the families of victims of police brutality, as well as with local activists working to stop it. Lowery investigates the cumulative effect of decades of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with constant discrimination, failing schools, crumbling infrastructure and too few jobs.

Offering a historically informed look at the standoff between the police and those they are sworn to protect, They Can't Kill Us All demonstrates that civil unrest is just one tool of resistance in the broader struggle for justice. And at the end of President Obama's tenure, it grapples with a worrying and largely unexamined aspect of his legacy: the failure to deliver tangible security and opportunity to the marginalised Americans most in need of it.

In peste un an de reportaje la fata locului, scriitorul de la Washington Post, Wesley Lowery, a calatorit prin SUA pentru a descoperi viata in cele mai puternic controlate colturi ale Americii, daca ar fi neglijate altfel, astazi. Moartea lui Michael Brown si intelegerea amplorii problemei pe care o reprezinta violenta politiei, Lowery a realizat sute de interviuri cu familiile victimelor brutalitatii politiei, precum si cu activisti locali care lucreaza pentru a o opri.
