Black arms to hold you up : a history of Black resistance

Passmore, Ben2026
Book
A boisterous, darkly funny, and sobering march through Black militant history. From Robert Charles's shootout with the police in 1900, to the Black Power movement in the 1960s, to the Los Angeles and George Floyd uprisings of the 1990s and the aughts, readers will tumble through more than a century of armed resistance against the racist state alongside Ben - and meet first-hand the mothers and fathers of the movement, whose stories were as tragic as they were heroic. What, after so many decades lost to state violence, is there left to fight for? Deeply researched, vibrantly drawn, and bracingly introspective, this title dares to find the answer.
