“A passionate, incisive critique of the many ways in which women and girls of color are systematically erased or marginalized in discussions of police violence.” —Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow
Invisible No More is a timely examination of how Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color experience racial profiling, police brutality, and immigration enforcement. By placing the individual stories of Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Dajerria Becton, Monica Jones, and Mya Hall in the broader context of the twin epidemics of police violence and mass incarceration, Andrea Ritchie documents the evolution of movements centered around women’s experiences of policing. Featuring a powerful forward by activist Angela Davis, Invisible No More is an essential exposé on police violence against WOC that demands a radical rethinking of our visions of safety—and the means we devote to achieving it.

      Ritchie's treatise explores the state of violence on people of color--specifically, girls, women, and those transgender. This audiobook serves as the perfect companion to Angela Davis's recently published POLICING THE BLACK MAN. To listen to narrator Bahni Turpin put voice to Ritchie's words can be heartrending as listeners hear about numerous cases of police brutality. But it's also inspiring as Ritchie recounts the ways in which a growing collection of groups and individuals work ceaselessly to protect those at the intersection of race, ethnicity, and gender. Turpin's deliberate pace helps to fully realize the actions and events that Ritchie recounts while also delineating the nuances of her arguments. Overall, Turpin's tone effectively communicates Ritchie's frustration and anguish at this catalogue of injustice by the state. L.E. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
