Blackhood Against the Police Power

Discover the profound insights of Blackhood Against the Police Power by Tryon P. Woods, published by Michigan State University Press in 2019. This compelling hardback edition spans 370 pages and delves into the intricate dynamics of race and power in contemporary society. Woods critically examines the punishment of race and the troubling disavowal of sexual violence within the context of a so-called “post-racial” political landscape. He argues that this post-racial narrative harbors an underlying antiblack sentiment, which seeks to undermine the essence of blackness and the ethical imperatives of the black liberation movement. This thought-provoking work is essential for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of race relations and the ongoing struggle for justice.
