Black Resistance to British Policing - (Racism, Resistance and Social Change) by Adam Elliott-Cooper (Paperback)

The book "Black Resistance to British Policing" is a groundbreaking work that offers a radical analysis of grassroots black resistance to policing in 21st-century Britain.

Drawing on a decade of activist research, the author provides a comprehensive and timely examination of the function and practices of the police as a control apparatus of the state, seeking to regulate black people's presence in society and its institutions. The book is meticulously researched and powerfully argued, offering a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of black resistance in the UK.

It provides crucial groundwork for those looking to build towards abolition, understood as the capacity for self-determination, not only for people like those vividly portrayed in these pages but for all who struggle to end oppression. Without a doubt, this book is an important addition to the growing literature on this subject and a must-read for young people, students, parents, teachers, and anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the history and legacy of black resistance in Britain.
