After a long sojourn in South Africa, where she researched the theft of land and homes from Black citizens, she wanted to immerse herself in a project that showcased Black agency. And yet what she found in Detroit was too urgent to ignore. Her neighbors, many of whom had owned their homes for decades, were losing them to property tax foreclosure. Even though the reasons why this was happening were shrouded, the results were clear: once bustling Black neighborhoods blighted with vacant homes and trash-strewn lots, social networks eroded, family legacies lost. It was a puzzle that would take five years of dogged investigation, including hundreds of interviews with homeowners, landlords, real estate investors, and city officials to solve, but data point by data point, loss by loss, a story emerged, one very different from the dominant narratives that blamed irresponsible homeowners or a few corrupt politicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-8 title-description show-links\" data-hook=\"description\"\u003eAs Atuahene demonstrates, the problem is a system of predatory governance, where public officials raise public dollars through racist policies-a nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroit. In this powerful work of scholarship and storytelling, Atuahene expands our nation's racial justice conversation from the physical violence that state agents exert to the less conspicuous, but intensely damaging bureaucratic violence that they routinely inflict. Unlike brutal police murders captured on video, predatory governance hides in plain sight, inviting complicity from well-meaning people, eviscerating communities, and widening the racial wealth gap. By following the lives of two grandfathers who migrated to Detroit at the turn of the twentieth century to work at Ford Motor Company--one Black the other white--and their grandchildren, Atuahene tells a riveting, braided tale about racist policies, how they take root, why they advance and flourish, who profits, and perhaps most crucially, explains what it takes to dismantle them.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-8 title-description show-links\" data-hook=\"description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-8 title-description show-links\" data-hook=\"description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-8 title-description show-links\" data-hook=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eBernadette Atuahene\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the Frances and John Duggan Chair at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law.

A 24-year-old white man. Both writers. One a teacher; the other his student. Before the pandemic separated them, Ross Gay and one of his graduate poetry students, Noah Davis, met regularly to play one-on-one basketball. It was a real hard workout. After each session they were moved to exchange letters about basketball and so much more. Gay and Davis, who both attended college on sports scholarships, have taught and coached basketball, and love the sport—its beauty, its athleticism—see their letters as a way to work through some of the larger issues inherent in sports, from misogyny to race to competition, and as their friendship deepens, basketball becomes a springboard for talking how men relate to each other and to the world.
