America, goddam : violence, Black women, and the struggle for justice / by Lindsey, Treva B.,1983-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 301-312) and index.Goddam, goddam, goddam -- Say her name : policing is violence -- The caged bird sings : the criminal punishment system -- Up against the wind : intracommunal violence -- Violability is a pre-existing condition : dying in the medical industrial complex -- Unlivable : the deadly consequences of poverty -- They say I'm hopeless -- We were not meant survive."America, Goddam explores the combined force of anti-Blackness, misogyny, patriarchy, and capitalism in the lives of Black women and girls in the United States today. Through personal accounts and hard-hitting analysis, Black feminist historian Treva B. Lindsey starkly assesses the forms and legacies of violence against Black women and girls, as well as their demands for justice for themselves and their communities. America Goddam powerfully demonstrates that the struggle for justice begins with reckoning with the pervasiveness of violence against Black women and girls in the United States. Combining history, theory, and memoir, America Goddam renders visible the gender dynamics of anti-Black violence. Black women and girls occupy a unique status of vulnerability to harm and death, while the circumstances and traumas of this violence go underreported and understudied. Lindsey also shows that the sanctity of life and liberty for Black men has been a galvanizing rallying cry within Black freedom movements. But Black women--who have been both victims of anti-Black violence as well as frontline participants in it, and quite often architects to these freedom movements--are rarely the focus. Black women have led movements demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Toyin Salau, Riah Milton, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, and countless other Black women and girls whose lives have been curtailed by numerous forms of violence. Across generations and centuries, their refusal to remain silent about violence against them led many to envisioning and building toward Black liberation through organizing and radical politics. Echoing the energy of Nina Simone's searing protest song which inspired the title, America, Goddam is a call to action in our collective journey toward just futures"--

Twenty dollars and change : Harriet Tubman and the ongoing fight for racial justice and democracy / by Lusane, Clarence,1953-author.(CARDINAL)361590;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 329-379) and index.Symbolism matters -- Harriet Tubman represents solidarity, struggle, and genuine democracy -- Andrew Jackson's face is a meme for white supremacy -- The movement to transform the faces on U.S. currency -- The Tubman twenty: Black support and opposition -- Conservative hostility to the Tubman twenty -- Fear of a diverse America -- From 1619 to Covid-19, racism is a pre-existing condition -- The George Floyd catalyst -- Abolishing symbols of white supremacy -- Black voters matter -- Good trouble and a Harriet Tubman-inspired future."What the fight over whose image should appear on the $20 bill reveals about America's reckoning with racism, past and present. Black Movements Matter. So do the symbols that represent them. In a positive step toward greater diversity in official symbolism, on April 20, 2016, then Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that the image of Harriet Tubman would replace that of Andrew Jackson on the face of the US twenty-dollar bill. Reflecting on the year-long public response regarding which American should replace Jackson on the twenty, Lew stated, "Our currency will now tell more of our story and reflect the contributions of women as well as men to our great democracy." Several years later, however, the decision to enshrine Harriet Tubman on US currency was obfuscated and quietly put on the shelf by the Trump administration. When Biden won the White House, it was again announced that Tubman would replace Jackson. In $20 and Change, African American scholar Clarence Lusane offers a searing examination of what the fight to replace Andrew Jackson's face with Harriet Tubman's on the front of twenty-dollar bill reveals about race, class, and social justice in America today. Weaving together history and political analysis, Lusane gives voice to the millions of Americans who mobilized for the Tubman twenty becoming a part of the long legacy of people of color and women challenging symbols of patriarchy, racism, and white supremacy. He also discusses the movement that emerged in outrage over the killing of George Floyd, arrested for allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Lusane argues that while Andrew Jackson's image represents a flawed vision of democracy that tolerates white supremacy, Harriett Tubman's represents the demand for gender equity, racial justice, and the struggle of working people for social inclusion and economic fairness--radical democracy. With insight and urgency, Lusane explains why such a democracy matters, and how national symbols in support of social justice serve to unify and strengthen us as a people"--
