The rising by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor -- Introduction: how shall we die? -- Preexisting conditions -- Corona capitalism -- Death-eligible -- The spectacle of violence -- Language of the unheard -- Justice for "all" -- Whose violence? -- Toward an abolitionist vision.

"In the midst of loss, death, and suffering, our charge is to figure out what freedom really means--and how we take steps to get there. The uprising of 2020 marks a new phase in the unfolding Movement for Black Lives. The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid-19 pandemic lays bare. In this urgent and incisive collection of new interviews bookended by two new essays, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the "pre-existing conditions" that led us to this moment of upheaval, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future."--From publisher.

Taylor, Keeanga-Yamahtta.
