Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present - Maynard, Robyn

As New; Delving behind Canada's veneer of multiculturalism and tolerance. Robyn Maynard traces the violent realities of anti-Blackness from the slave ships to prisons, classrooms and beyond, providing readers with the first comprehensive account of nearly four hundred years of state-sanctioned surveillance, criminalization and punishment of Black lives in Canada. "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." - Angela Y. Davis
