We Refuse

A Forceful History of Black Resistance
Book • 2024
Kellie Carter Jackson's "We Refuse" challenges the simplistic binary of Black resistance often reduced to King's nonviolence versus Malcolm X's 'any means necessary.

' The book delves into the diverse strategies employed by Black individuals, particularly women, against white oppression.

It examines various tactics, including force, flight, and joy, highlighting their effectiveness in securing freedom and justice.

Jackson's work provides a crucial corrective to historical narratives, celebrating Black resilience and offering a path toward liberation.
