Engineered Conflict

In Engineered Conflict: Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago, David Omotoso Stovall provides a hard-hitting exploration of how state policy displaces and isolates Black communities, and how collective resistance creates spaces for working-class people of color to identify the true cause of conflict as capitalism and white supremacy.

As Eve L. Ewing puts it, this book offers new language for seeing the tangled ties that bind school privatization, organized abandonment, and the carceral state.
