Yet Columbia University professor and \u003cem\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e correspondent Jelani Cobb argues that this prescient report, which examined more than a dozen urban uprisings between 1964 and 1967, has been woefully neglected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an enlightening new introduction, Cobb reveals how these uprisings were used as political fodder by Republicans and demonstrates that this condensed edition of the \u003cem\u003eReport\u003c\/em\u003e should be essential reading at a moment when protest movements are challenging us to uproot racial injustice. A detailed examination of economic inequality, race, and policing, the \u003cem\u003eReport\u003c\/em\u003e has never been more relevant, and demonstrates to devastating effect that it is possible for us to be entirely cognizant of history and still tragically repeat it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631498923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jelani Cobb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40367810445493,"sku":"9781631498923","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_23117ead-7a29-4756-8351-1122c7edb543.jpg?v=1624982971","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-essential-kerner-commission-report-9781631498923","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
