Reviews
"A salve and a powerful revisiting of movement history. . . . I see Viral Justice as a refreshing reminder of how much we can learn from the analysis and perspective of a brilliant thinker outside our field . . . The book is lyrical and searing in its analysis." ---Michelle Morse, The Lancet, "Heartbreaking, inspiring, and hopeful. . . . Benjamin's approach is undoubtedly radical." ---James M. Jones, Science, An emotional and thought-provoking wake-up shout to put an end to systemic discrimination. . . . A rich and engaging space for collective healing., "Benjamin's work is foundational for understanding society and social change. . . . "Viral Justice" offers real experiences coupled with theory and practicality to engender change." ---Kenya Massey, Symbolic Interaction, "Benjamin's work is foundational for understanding society and social change. . . . Viral Justice offers real experiences coupled with theory and practicality to engender change." ---Kenya Massey, Symbolic Interaction, Longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book Awards, Personal Development & Human Behavior Category, "This is an openhearted, multilayered work that vibrates with ideas on ways to make a new world out of the interlocking crises of COVID-19 and racial capitalism. Progress may be a 'tear-soaked mirage,' as Benjamin writes, yet her book is far from devoid of a sense of humor or hope, full of ways to 'live poetically' while remaking the systems that have failed us." ---Rhoda Feng, New York Magazine, "Heartbreaking, inspiring, and hopeful. . . .Benjamin's approach is undoubtedly radical." ---James M. Jones, Science, This is an openhearted, multilayered work that vibrates with ideas on ways to make a new world out of the interlocking crises of COVID-19 and racial capitalism. Progress may be a 'tear-soaked mirage,' as Benjamin writes, yet her book is far from devoid of a sense of humor or hope, full of ways to 'live poetically' while remaking the systems that have failed us., "Benjamin's choice to weave personal stories of childhood and motherhood with action and theory made it easier to see how I fit into the narrative she was crafting." ---A. Rochaun Meadows-Fernandez, Yes Magazine, "There's no one better to light the way out and guide us in building a just future than Ruha Benjamin." ---Karla J. Strand, Ms. Magazine, "Benjamin's choice to weave personal stories of childhood and motherhood with action and theory made it easier to see how I fit into the narrative she was crafting. . . . In the spirit of activists and writers like Octavia Butler, Benjamin encourages us to dream up a new, more equitable world." ---A. Rochaun Meadows-Fernandez, YES! Magazine, "A unique and inspiring intervention, that comes at just the right moment." ---Ros Williams, Ethnic and Racial Studies, An emotional and thought-provoking wake-up shout to put an end to systemic discrimination. . . . [and] a rich and engaging space for collective healing., "Compelling . . . . The final pages of Benjamin's Viral Justice are a testament to human resilience, to finding meaning in little acts, imbuing beauty in the mundane, and growing a garden from a seed." ---Mehr Tarar, Stanford Social Innovation Review, "I encourage educators across all subject matters to incorporate Benjamin's Viral Justice framework in the classroom. These lessons ultimately provide students with a toolkit to reimagine justice and redistribute power in their own communities little by little." ---Amber Joy Powell, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity

Synopsis
'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., 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 true gift to our movements for justice."--Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow Long before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes.

Very happy with the collection. Saving seller for future purchases.
