Overview
As Atuahene demonstrates, the problem is a system of predatory governance, where public officials raise public dollars through racist policiesāa nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroit. In this powerful work of scholarship and storytelling, Atuahene expands our nationās racial justice conversation from the physical violence that state agents exert to the less conspicuous, but intensely damaging bureaucratic violence that they routinely inflict. Unlike brutal police murders captured on video, predatory governance hides in plain sight, inviting complicity from well-meaning people, eviscerating communities, and widening the racial wealth gap. By following the lives of two grandfathers who migrated to Detroit at the turn of the twentieth century to work at Ford Motor Companyāone Black the other whiteāand their grandchildren, Atuahene tells a riveting, braided tale about racist policies, how they take root, why they advance and flourish, who profits, and perhaps most crucially, explains what it takes to dismantle them.
