America on Fire
Book • 2021
In 'America on Fire', Elizabeth Hinton explores the history of police violence and Black rebellion, challenging the narrative of progress in the post-civil rights era.
The book highlights how systemic racism and police brutality have led to ongoing community violence and expanded policing regimes.
Hinton argues that these rebellions are not riots but collective resistance to inequality, and that they will continue unless systemic changes are made.
