À propos de ce contenu audio

 A blistering exposé of how anti-Black racism has influenced the most essential cornerstones of American life — from where we live and where we go to school to our opportunities to vote and our relationship with law enforcement— from the founder of the Who We Are Project and former director of the ACLU and the Trone Center for Justice and Equality

Featuring a foreword by Tom Hanks

One of America’s darkest myths is that the abolition of slavery and the 1960s’ dismantling of legalized racial segregation created a racially equitable and just society. But in this illuminating work, Jeffery Robinson uncovers just how deeply anti-Black racism is still woven into the fabric of our nation. White supremacy fueled the country for over a century after the Civil War and is still deeply ingrained in our culture, and racist laws that were banned and deemed unconstitutional have been replaced by more covert new ones. Robinson argues if our country is to change for the better, we must confront this truth.

Robinson takes us on a dramatic journey through America’s past, from the first group of people captured in Africa and enslaved on American soil to the racist policies and practices still impacting our country today. He argues that anti-Black racism is not just a series of isolated acts but a highly sophisticated system, in which centuries of racial segregation have resulted in flagrant disparities in public school funding, voter turnout, policing, and sentencing.

Clear-eyed, explosive, and stirring, Who We Are is a powerful correction of American history that shines a light on our country’s darkest stain, revealing who we are in an effort to heal our country and improve who we become. Amériques Liberté et sécurité Politique et gouvernement États-Unis
