Inhoudsopgave:
Front-page news: Ferguson, Baltimore, New York, Clevelandâthe policing of black men dominates the national media. Sales record from a key media figure: Letâs Get Free sold over 11K in all editions. Ideal author: Butler is an African American former federal prosecutor, a brilliant and original thinker, a gifted writer, and an experienced media commentator all rolled into oneâthere is no better person to write about this topic. Media track record: Paul Butler is a legal analyst for CNN and MSNBC, and has appeared on 60 Minutes, Nightline, ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news, and national NPR. Butler writes for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, The Nation, the Chicago Tribune, and The Progressive, among others. Radical: Butler doesnât nip around the edges with modest suggestions; he advocates crashing the system and gives very clear instructions for how to do it. Not everyone will agree, but everyone will pay attention. Blurbs/endorsements: Letâs Get Free was blurbed by Henry Louis Gates, Danny Glover, Anthony Romero, etc. We expect similar endorsements for Chokehold. |
