From PM Press, “In the summer of 2020, America experienced one of the bigg est uprisings in half a century. After George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police, angry crowds took to the streets night after night, fighting the police, looting, and eventually burning down the Third Preci nct. The revolt soon spread to cities large and small across the country, where rioters set police cars on fire, sacked luxury shopping districts, a nd forced the president into hiding in a bunker beneath the White House. T hroughout the summer and into the fall, localized rebellions continued to erupt in Atlanta, Chicago, Kenosha, Louisville, Philadelphia, and elsewher e.


Written during the riots, “The George Floyd Uprising” (edited by Vortex Group) is a compendium of the most radical writing to come out of that long, hot summer. These incendiary dispatches – from those on the front lines of the struggle – examine the new horizons opened by the revol t, as well as the social, tactical, and strategic obstacles it confronted. This practical, inspiring collection offers a toolbox for all those activ ely seeking to expand and intensify revolts in the future, and it is essen tial reading for everyone interested in toppling the state, racism, and ca pitalism.” https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p= 1290
