Knopf, $c 2023. 300 $a x, 116 pages ; $c 24 cm 520 $a "In August, 2014, Michael Brown--a young, unarmed Black man--was shot to death by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. What followed was a period of protests and turmoil, culminating in an extensive report that was filed by the Department of Justice detailing biased policing and court practices in the city. It is a document that exposes the racist policies and practices that have become commonplace--from disproportionate arrest rates, to flagrant violence directed at the Black community. It is a report that remains as disheartening as it is damning. Now, acclaimed poet Nicole Sealey revisits the investigation in a book that redacts the report, an act of erasure that reimagines the original text as it strips it away. While the full document is visible in the background--weighing heavily on the language Sealey has preserved--it gives shape and disturbing context to what remains. Illuminating what it means to live in this frightening age and what it means to bear witness, The Ferguson Report: An Erasure is an engrossing meditation on one of the most important texts of modern time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "This is a Borzoi book." -- title page verso. 600 10 $a Brown, Michael, $c Jr., $d 1996-2014 $v Poetry. 600 17 $a Brown, Michael, $c Jr., $d 1996-2014 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01931873 610 10 $a United States. $b Civil Rights Division. $b Civil Rights Division. $t Ferguson report $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Police shootings $z Ferguson $z Ferguson $v Poetry. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Violence against $v Poetry. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Violence against $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02025838 650 7 $a Police shootings $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068686 650 7 $a Race relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations $v Poetry. 651 7 $a Missouri $z Ferguson $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01232264 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a poetry. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300055931 655 7 $a Erasure poetry $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01941322 655 7 $a Poetry $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Erasure poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a PoeÌsie. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000476 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011315.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D643245A141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
