Annotation: "From the moment that Trayvon Martin's senseless murder initiated the Black Lives Matter movement in 2014, America has been convulsed by new social movements--around guns, gender violence, sexual harrassment, race, policing, and on and on--and an equally powerful backlash that abetted the rise of the MAGA movement. In this punchy, powerful collection of dispatches, mostly published in The New Yorker, Jelani Cobb pulls the signal from the noise of this chaotic era. Cobb's work as a reporter takes readers to the front lines of sometimes violent conflict, and he uses his gifts as a critic and historian to crack open the meaning of it all. Through a stunning mélange of narrative journalism, criticism, and penetrating profiles, Cobb's writing captures the crises, characters, movements, and art of an era--and helps readers understand what might be coming next. Cobb has added new material to this collection--retrospective pieces that bring these stories up-to-date and tie them together, shaping these powerful short dispatches into a cohesive, epic narrative of one of the most consequential periods in recent American history."--Provided by publisher.
