In the wake of the mass protests over the police murder of George
Floyd, nearly every major consumer brand proclaimed their
commitments to antiracism, often with new ad campaigns to match
their Tweets. Despite the historic scale of protests and ruling
class approval, the most substantive reforms advanced by Black
Lives Matter remained out of reach. Still less was achieved around
policies that might help the most dispossessed and precarious
Americans. Why has anti-racism been such a powerful source of
mobilization but such a poor means of building political opposition
capable of winning big reforms? Writing against the grain of
popular left sentiments, Johnson cautions against the revival of
ethnic politics. Instead, he calls for broad-based left politics as
the only viable means for ending the twin crises of racial
inequality and police violence. Redistribution, public goods, and
multi-ethnic working-class solidarity are the only viable response
to the horrors of police violence and mass incarceration. It just
so happens that fighting the conditions that make crime and
violence inevitable is also the means by which we can build a
working-class majority and a more equal and peaceful nation.
