Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond

Named a Best Book of 2016 by Kirkus Reviews
A New York Times Editorâ€™s Choice
Nautilus Award Winner

â€œA worthy and necessary addition to the contemporary canon of civil rights literature.â€ â€”New York Times

In this â€œthought-provoking and importantâ€ (Library Journal) analysis of state-sanctioned violence, Marc Lamont Hill carefully considers a string of high-profile deaths in Americaâ€”Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and othersâ€”and incidents of gross negligence by government, such as the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. He digs underneath these events to uncover patterns and policies of authority that allow some citizens become disempowered, disenfranchised, poor, uneducated, exploited, vulnerable, and disposable. To help us understand the plight of vulnerable communities, he examines the effects of unfettered capitalism, mass incarceration, and political power while urging us to consider a new world in which everyone has a chance to become somebody. Heralded as an essential text for our times, Marc Lamont Hillâ€™s galvanizing work embodies the best traditions of scholarship, journalism, and storytelling to lift unheard voices and to address the necessary question, â€œhow did we get here?"
