The events surrounding the Trayvon Martin murder, trial and
acquittal bring to public and private discourse the violent, brutal
murders of Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Dr. King,
while bringing back to memory the racially provoked murders of
Black American and Black immigrant men such as Amadou Diallo, Oscar
Grant and more recently, Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner
in New York. The name of Trayvon Martin has become trope in the
21st century, which crystallizes US racial politics regarding
Blackness, specifically the Black male: a metaphoric symbol of this
history of America's regard for Black bodies, as well as a metonym,
a name that has become a contemporary substitute for terrorist
attacks targeting Black bodies. The works included here imply that
Trayvon Martin, as trope, reverberates in the most conscientious of
'US'; and, this epic tragedy is one that has plagued 'US' since
Africans and people of African descent first arrived to the
Americas. The essays range from the profoundly personal to the
thoroughly investigated, and conclude with the statement from
President Barack H. Obama in the epilogue. The Trayvon Martin in US
is essential reading for anyone who is involved in race relations
or teaches the topic.
