Om Slow and Sudden Violence

"By exposing the deep roots of contemporary racial unrest, Derek Hyra lays bare the failures of urban policy to overcome social inequalities as they have metastasized over time. His prescriptions for addressing the multiple effects of what he calls slow violence in such places as Ferguson and Baltimore cry out for action in the private as well as the public sector."--Howard Gillette, Jr., author of The Paradox of Urban Revitalization: Progress and Poverty in America's Post-Industrial Era "Slow and Sudden Violence goes beyond the immediate, surface-level explanations for the uprisings in Ferguson and Baltimore. Hyra provides a rich historical account combined with vivid interviews to make a powerful argument: What happened in Ferguson, Baltimore, Minneapolis, and many other cities is not simply about the police. It is about social policies that have destabilized, oppressed, and in some cases destroyed Black communities."--Patrick Sharkey, William S. Tod Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University "Hyra's trenchant account forcefully demonstrates how seemingly precipitous uprisings in Ferguson and Baltimore are actually rooted in the systemic racialized violence of accumulated metropolitan housing and urban renewal policies that facilitated displacement and gentrification."--Lawrence J. Vale, Ford Professor of Urban Design and Planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology "From the draft riots of the civil war to the urban unrest in the wake of George Floyd's murder, America's cities have been the sites of episodic spasms of violence. Hyra revisits these spasms, offering up fresh insights into their occurrence and possible solutions to dampen the likelihood of such outbursts. Slow and Sudden Violence is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand cities periodic about of unrest."--Lance Freeman, James W. Effron University Professor of City and Regional Planning & Sociology, University of Pennsylvania
