"As police brutality and crime in mostly disadvantaged black communities have garnered significant attention, few studies have managed to capture the convergence of the two as a singular and yet dichotomous mobilization effort in a post-Ferguson milieu. In You Can't Stop the Revolution, sociologist Andrea S. Boyles provides a full ethnographic depiction of blacks fighting the victim blame and backlash of neighborhood violence while attending to highly charged, competing calls for action--tackling black citizen-police conflict and addressing disorder and crime in their often disproportionately poor communities. Drawing on momentum from civil unrest in Ferguson, Boyles offers an everyday montage of protests, social ties, and empowerment as coalescing to safeguard black lives while simultaneously igniting unprecedented twenty-first-century resistance"--Provided by publisher
