From the author of Race After Technology, an inspiring vision of
how we can build a more just world-one small change at a time "A
book as urgent as the moment that produced it."-Jelani Cobb,
Columbia Journalism School Long before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin
was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice,
focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of
COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the
importance of small, individual actions. Part memoir, part
manifesto, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal
exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we
make every day. Vividly recounting her personal experiences and
those of her family, Benjamin shows how seemingly minor decisions
and habits could spread virally and have exponentially positive
effects. She recounts her father's premature death, illuminating
the devastating impact of the chronic stress of racism, but she
also introduces us to community organizers who are fostering mutual
aid and collective healing. Through her brother's experience with
the criminal justice system, we see the trauma caused by policing
practices and mass imprisonment, but we also witness family members
finding strength as they come together to demand justice for their
loved ones. And while her own challenges as a young mother reveal
the vast inequities of our healthcare system, Benjamin also
describes how the support of doulas and midwives can keep Black
mothers and babies alive and well. Born of a stubborn hopefulness,
Viral Justice offers a passionate, inspiring, and practical vision
of how small changes can add up to large ones, transforming our
relationships and communities and helping us build a more just and
joyful world.
