White Lives Matter Most: And Other ＂Little＂ White Lies

Modern-day movements to end racism in the U.S. seem sadly doomed to fail. If a more sober analysis of U.S. history is not considered, our efforts will lead to continued fragmentation--or worse. The essays in this book reveal the successful strategies and methods of multigenerational coalitions used in recent campaigns to free Puerto Rican and Black Panther political prisoners, confront neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, and many more. Meyer's reflections on the need for intensified solidarity, consciousness, and accountability among white folks provide a provocative and urgent challenge. These essays--some coauthored by Black Lives Matter and Ferguson Truth Telling leaders Natalie Jeffers and David Ragland, Puerto Rican professor Ana L pez, Muslim interfaith activist Sahar Alsahlani, and Afro-Asian cultural icon Fred Ho--offer up-to-the-minute insights.
