America, goddam: violence, Black women, and the struggle for justice

Introduction. Goddam, goddam, goddam

Say her name : policing is violence

The caged bird sings : the criminal punishment system

Up against the wind : intracommunal violence

Violability is a pre-existing condition : dying in the medical industrial complex

Unlivable : the deadly consequences of poverty

They say I'm hopeless

We were not meant survive

Epilogue. A letter to Ma'Khia Bryant.
