It will stay with you, whispering to you long after the last page has been turned. It is a story our nation desperately needs to hear, especially right now. Our country has been at war with its own people for decades and the reasons for this tragedy are deeply rooted in our racial history and our post-industrial, globalized present. Entire communities defined by race and class have been deemed enemy territory and millions taken prisoner. Patrisse Cullors grew up as a child of this war -- a drug war that aimed to destroy families like hers, communities like hers, places she called home. asha bandele tells the story beautifully, sharing the often razor-sharp details of the police and prisons that punctuated Patrisse's young life with unflinching honesty and deep insight. This remarkable book reveals what inspired Patrisse's visionary and courageous activism and forces us to face the consequence of the choices our nation made when we criminalized a generation. This book is a must-read for all of us.?" - Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow"A visionary leader whose message of racial justice hasreverberated across the globe." - Carolina De Robertis"For those who wish to understand what it takes to changethe world, this story matters." - Robin D.
