Black grief is exemplified by current protests against police violence--the latest in a tradition of violent death and subsequent public mourning spurring Black political mobilization. The potent politics of white grievance, meanwhile, which is also not new, imagines the United States as a white country under siege. Drawing on African American political thought, Hooker examines key moments in US racial politics that illuminate the problem of loss in democracy. She connects today's Black Lives Matter protests to the use of lynching photographs to arouse public outrage over post-Reconstruction era racial terror, and she discusses Emmett Till's funeral as a catalyst for the civil rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s. She also traces the political weaponization of white victimhood during the Obama and Trump presidencies. Calling for an expansion of Black and white political imaginations, Hooker argues that both must learn to sit with loss, for different reasons and to different ends. 650 0 $a Racism $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Grief $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 941 $a 3 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011439.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012135.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240103010124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD6C815EAA0511EE99E4BB4527ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
