More about the book
Exploring the dynamics of race in American democracy, the book delves into how Black grief and white grievance shape political expectations and civic engagement. Juliet Hooker argues that while Black citizens face the burden of political heroism through their suffering, white citizens often experience a sense of entitlement to victory. By examining historical events like the Black Lives Matter movement and the legacy of lynching, Hooker highlights the need for both groups to confront loss in their political narratives, advocating for a broader understanding of civic participation.
