Summary:
"An exposure of historical and contemporary practices of state-sanctioned
violence
against
Black
lives
in
Canada
. This groundbreaking work dispels many prevailing myths that cast
Canada
as a land of benevolence and racial equality, and uncovers long-standing
state
practices that have restricted
Black
freedom. How anti-Blackness has influenced the construction of
Canada
's carceral landscape, including the development and application of numerous criminal law enforcement and border regulation practices. The historical and contemporary mobilization of anti-Blackness spanning from
slavery
, 19th and 20th century segregation practices, and the application of early drug and prostitution laws through to the modern era. The ongoing legacy of a demonized and devalued Blackness that is manifest today as racial profiling by police, immigration agents and social services, the over-representation of
Black
communities in jails and prisons, anti-Black immigration detention and deportation practices, the over-representation of
Black
youth in
state
care, the school-to-prison pipeline and gross economic inequality. Following the dictums of the
Black
Lives
Matter movement,
Policing
Black
Lives
adopts an intersectional lens that explores the realities of those whose
lives
and experiences have historically been marginalized, stigmatized, and made invisible. In addressing how
state
practices have impacted
Black
lives
, the book brings from margin to centre an analysis of gender, class, sexuality, (dis)ability, citizenship and criminalization. Beyond exploring systemic racial injustice,
Policing
Black
Lives
pushes the limits of the
Black
radical imagination: it delves into liberatory
Black
futures and urges the necessity of transformative alternatives. Robyn Maynard is a
Black
feminist writer, grassroots community organizer and intellectual based in Montreal."--Provided by publisher.
