Policing Black Lives State Violence in Canada from Slavery to Present

"Robyn Maynard's meticulously researched and compelling analysis of state violence challenges prevailing narratives of Canadian multiculturalism and inclusion by examining how structures of racism and ideologies of gender are complexly anchored in global histories of colonization and slavery. This book should be read not only by those who have a specific interest in Canadian histories and social justice movements but by anyone interested in the abolitionist and revolutionary potential of the Black Lives Matters movement more broadly." - Angela Y. Davis

"We are so fortunate to have this new edition! Robyn Maynard's clear, compelling book is a must read for organizations, households, and anyone who fights for social justice." - Ruth Wilson Gilmore
