CW: Police Brutality, murder, discussions of racismThis' a powerful anthology that everyone should read, which explains the systemic racism involved in policing in the United States. Sadly, it's still too relevant to today's world.
A really powerful collection of graphics, poems, essays, and personal stories. I really think everyone should read this. The messages are important, and the anger it induces needs to be planted to spur on the much needed changes we need to make happen in this country. Thank you the creators and contributors of this anthology for being willing to share your truth, emotions, and honesty with us. I hope it will help open the eyes and the hearts of its readers.
This book is a must-read.
This disgusting volume has sullied my PC for too long. Some of the less offensive sections suggest in the most racist manner that it's wrong for people to police black people purely because they are white. Some is even more sectarian than that. It's shoddy, ugly, thoughtless and quite loathsome. One star is a credit it doesn't deserve.
I read most of the comics, skipped most of the prose
This is a wonderful anthology, but I think it sells itself short as a comic book anthology. It has comics and cartoons, sure, but also stories and essays that are powerful and informative in their own right.
This is a thoughtful collection on police brutality and the impacts it has on communities, families, and the world we live in.This book discusses police brutality, not just against people of color but against all vulnerable people. It shows the impact that the brutality has from police officers that worry about family members to how black boys are taught differently than white boys. This book shows how brutality affects how we move throughout the world and the pain it brings. There are very pers...
I liked that this anthology had a little of everything- essays, fiction stories, comics, drawings.
This anthology of comics, personal stories, and political essays about police brutality is worth reading. It's depressing and moving, as you might guess from the subject matter. It shouldn't be the only thing you read about broken policing, but it's a very good starting point. I was surprised to learn about the extensive history of race riots in the US. For well over a century, it was common for white people to riot against particular racial minorities in their area, including Irish and Chinese
Quality of some of the writing not so hot, but very important to have in a library.
It's so hard to rate anthologies, because there was some great pieces in here. This book combines comics, stories and essays all focused around police brutality. What I liked most about this anthology was the variety of perspectives offered, from various people affected by police brutality. There's black men being victimized by the police. There's parents worried for their children. There's women who's loved ones were murdered. There's a white cop, who's brother-in-law and nephew are black. Ther...
Informative essays and powerful comics. A must read.
APB is a varied collection of comics, artwork, essays, and short nonfiction pieces, all focusing on the subject of police brutality and fatal force used against civilians. I wish that the comics would have been formatted a bit better for e-readers, as I couldn't read the text at all in a couple of them--even on desktop. The most affecting segment was the last, with a grim roll call of names of civilians killed by police officers.
Moving. Poignant. Impressive. Passionate. Visceral. Timely. Tragic. Sorrow. Uplifting Voices. Powerful.
Want a license to kill? Join the police force. It blows my mind that with all that is happening, we keep being reminded that if cops weren’t allowed to beat and murder with impunity, no one would become cops. What does that say about our current system?APB: Artists Against Police Brutality is a reminder that cries of “LAW & ORDER!” And “tough on crime” just means “brutalize, incarcerate, and murder Black people!”And cops know that they have the permission to do that. There are so many great stor...
Intense. Still emotionally reeling.
This book is the perfect example to show that it is true that a picture is worth more than a thousand words and a few words are more useful than chitchat.Questo libro é l'esempio perfetto per dimostrare come sia vero che un'immagine valga piú di mille parole e poche parole siano più utili di tante chiacchiere.THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND ROSARIUM PUBLISHING FOR THE PREVIEW!
