Description
Britain has long viewed itself as tolerant and open, but institutional police racism continues to unsettle and challenge this interpretation. Black resistance to British policing offers the first detailed account of grassroots anti-racist resistance. From twentieth-century liberation movements, to the 2011 'riots' and into present day Black Lives Matter protests, Elliott-Cooper traces how colonial legacies and modern state power are used to classify, control, exploit and perpetrate violence.
Using a decade of research into activism, spontaneous rebellion and campaigning, Elliott-Cooper uncovers how British racism stretches back much further than the Windrush scandal, and beyond the shores of the mainland, to its imperial cultures and policies across the Empire. The police and prison systems are beyond reform, Elliott-Cooper argues, and to imagine a world free from racism we must work towards a system free from the violence and exploitation that makes racism possible.
