"Michael Eric Dyson is one of the nation's most thoughtful and critical thinkers in social inequality and the demands of justice. Long Time Coming , his latest formidable, compelling book, has much to offer on our nation's crucial need for racial reckoning and the way forward." -- Bryan Stevenson , author of Just Mercy "Michael Eric Dyson's Long Time Coming: Reckoning with Race in America , is a brilliant and fiercely eloquent work that traces the roots of racism from slavery and Jim Crow to police brutality and the plague of Black killings in our own day. In gorgeous prose and erudite analysis, Dyson argues that both the trap of white comfort and the peril of cancel culture thwart a genuine reckoning with race in our country. Long Time Coming is a searing cry for racial justice from one of our nation's greatest thinkers and most compelling prophets." -- Robin DiAngelo, bestselling author of White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism "One of the country's most prominent scholars on race has a new book" -- AP News, "Michael Eric Dyson is one of the nation's most thoughtful and critical thinkers in social inequality and the demands of justice.

Synopsis
AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER and NAACP IMAGE AWARD NOMINEE From the New York Times bestselling author of Tears We Cannot Stop , a passionate call to America to finally reckon with race and start the journey to redemption. "Powerfully illuminating, heart-wrenching, and enlightening." -Ibram X. Kendi, bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist "Crushingly powerful, Long Time Coming is an unfiltered Marlboro of black pain." - Isabel Wilkerson, bestselling author of Caste "Formidable, compelling...has much to offer on our nation's crucial need for racial reckoning and the way forward." -Bryan Stevenson, bestselling author of Just Mercy The night of May 25, 2020 changed America. George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was killed during an arrest in Minneapolis when a white cop suffocated him. The video of that night's events went viral, sparking the largest protests in the nation's history and the sort of social unrest we have not seen since the sixties. While Floyd's death was certainly the catalyst, (heightened by the fact that it occurred during a pandemic whose victims were disproportionately of color) it was in truth the fuse that lit an ever-filling powder keg. Long Time Coming grapples with the cultural and social forces that have shaped our nation in the brutal crucible of race. In five beautifully argued chapters--each addressed to a black martyr from Breonna Taylor to Rev. Clementa Pinckney--Dyson traces the genealogy of anti-blackness from the slave ship to the street corner where Floyd lost his life--and where America gained its will to confront the ugly truth of systemic racism. Ending with a poignant plea for hope, Dyson's exciting new book points the way to social redemption. Long Time Coming is a necessary guide to help America finally reckon with race.
