Book Price $0 : A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR â?¢ A Meditation On Our Times, Cast Through A Reconsideration Of The Justice Department's Investigation Of The Ferguson Police DepartmentIn August 2014, Michael Brownâ??a Young, Unarmed Black Manâ??was Shot To Death By A Police Officer In Ferguson, Missouri. What Followed Was A Period Of Protests And Turmoil, Culminating In An Extensive Report That Was Filed By The Department Of Justice Detailing Biased Policing And Court Practices In The City. It Is A Document That Exposes The Racist Policies And Procedures That Have Become Commonplaceâ??from Disproportionate Arrest Rates, To Flagrant Violence Directed At The Black Community. It Is A Report That Remains As Disheartening As It Is Damning.Now, Award-winning Poet Nicole Sealey Revisits The Investigation In A Book That Redacts The Report, An Act Of Erasure That Reimagines The Original Text As It Strips It Away. While The Full Document Is Visible In The Backgroundâ??weighing Heavily On The Language Sealey Has Preservedâ??it Gives Shape And Disturbing Context To What Remains.Illuminating What It Means To Live In This Frightening Age, And What It Means To Bear Witness, The Ferguson Report: An Erasure Is An Engrossing Meditation On One Of The Most Important Texts Of Our Time.
