Price: £22.99The Movement for Black Lives: Philosophical Perspectives brings philosophical analysis to bear on the aims, strategies, policy positions, and intellectual-historical context of the Movement, which has not received the sustained philosophical attention warranted by its political significance. Leading scholars address "Black Lives Matter" as a speech act, the Movement for Black Lives's (M4BL) conception of the value of Black lives, the gender dynamics of M4BL, M4BL's relation to other social justice movements, M4BL's novel forms of leadership and organization, and the impact of racism on the criminal justice system.
