Race and the Politics of Loss

We are excited to share our fascinating conversation with Dr. Juliet Hooker, professor of political science at Brown University. The themes discussed are drawn from her recent book, Black Grief, White Grievance: The Politics of Loss (Princeton University Press). This book directly engages with the important social, political, and historical forces linking black grief and white grievance. Further, it challenges us to consider what kinds of legitimate losses may be necessary in order to create an American society rooted in genuine equality.
