he is joining conversation by roxanne dunbar-ortiz in a virtual event with with harvard bookstore. >> thank you all for being here tonight, roxanne and i wanted to be with a moment of silence for all of the victims of police violence and particularly police violence at this moment in our recent history. so if you will join you for just a second and reflecting together on that. and then we could start a little belated. [silence. >> alright thank you. so this is a book that began, i began writing this book in the fall of 2014. and i began writing because i was invited to st. louis to give a talk on washington university. i felt called to talk about the murder of michael brown in the protests on the uprising. so i was invited to october, went there and felt that i had to go out and present what was happening because i am a missourian and i felt that was a history in which i was both one i knew very well, and one that i was implicated in. and so with the particular kind of turn of mind, that i have, i started to look at the political economy with a particular simple straightforward riddle
