We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance
Description
A powerful history of Black resistance in the United States, this book traces the many ways Black Americans have challenged enslavement, racial violence, political oppression, and the denial of civil rights. Moving across centuries, it reveals resistance not only in famous rebellions and movements, but also in everyday acts of refusal, collective organizing, cultural expression, and demands for self-determination. With incisive scholarship and a compelling narrative, it reframes Black history around agency, courage, and the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice.
