Produktbeschreibung
ERASED HISTORIES Blood on the Grass, Fire in the Sky by jm Alexander History did not forget these stories. They were buried. Erased Histories is a reckoning with the chapters America sealed shut-not because they were unclear, but because they were inconvenient. From the assassination of Fred Hampton to Kent State, Jackson State, COINTELPRO, Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the birth of militarized policing, this book traces a single, unbroken line: a government at war with dissent, and a nation taught to look away. This is not conspiracy. It is documentation. Court records. Declassified files. Eyewitness testimony. Blood on the pavement and fire in the night sky. Yellaboy pulls these events out of isolation and exposes the pattern beneath them-a pattern of repression, surveillance, infiltration, and state-sanctioned violence aimed at movements, communities, and individuals who challenged power. Written with the urgency of a witness and the precision of an investigator, Erased Histories refuses the comfort of neutrality. It names names. It connects dots. It gives voice to the ghosts-students, organizers, families, and bystanders-whose stories were minimized, distorted, or erased altogether. This book asks an uncomfortable question: What kind of democracy fears its own people? The answer lives in these pages. For readers of radical history, suppressed truths, and unfiltered American reality, Erased Histories is not just a book-it is an act of recovery. Memory is a weapon. This is how you sharpen it.
