"Taking Sides is more than a book; it's a politic aimed at the heart of every radical struggling against a racist state." --Luis A. Fernandez, author of Policing Dissent

These sharp interventions ask activists to avoid easy--and safe--answers and take on the hard work of building real grassroots solidarity across racial lines.
