A Fierce Expos Of The Resistance To Believing Black People And Its Devastating Effects Throughout American History.From Reconstruction To Redemption, From The Enactment Of Landmark Civil Rights Legislation To The Execution Of The Southern Strategy, From 2020S Multiracial Protests To The Swift Elimination Of Policies Etching Out A More Inclusive Society, Americans Regularly Experience Periods Of Racial Reckoning Followed By Walloping Retrenchment.In Black Evidence, Political Scientist Candis Watts Smith Shows That This Pattern Is The Result Of An American Habit: Denying The Truths About Our Society That Black People Experience And Remember. Smith Then Delivers A Warning: The Effects Of This Habit Ripple Out, Dulling Our Ability To Identify The Signs Of Authoritarianism And Heightening Our Tolerance For Cruelty. Still, She Shows How These Same Truths Offer Models To Overcome Our Repeated Predicament.Through A Curation Of Critical Moments Across Four Centuries, Smith Invites Us To Review The Evidence That Has Been Obscured, Distorted, And Denied. She Rigorously Investigates The Practices That Turn Black Witnesses Into Liars In The Court Room, Black Patients Into Superbodies That DonT Feel Pain In Health Care Settings, Black People Into Subhumans In Scientific Experiments, And Black Children Into Superpredators. She Reveals What Happens When Black Voices Are Subject To ExclusionTheir Communities Are Terrorized, Their Memories Are Refuted, And Their Resistance Is Pathologized.Written With Compassion And Tempered Optimism, Black Evidence Prescribes A Cure And Encourages Readers To Practice The Skills Needed To Build A Truly Multiracial Democracy: Confront Our Past, Acknowledge The Damage Of Inequality In Our Present, And Listen To The Voices Of Those Who Experience The Problems We Wish To Solve For An Equitable Future.
