Buy Reckoning the Racial Reckoning: From Backlash to Accountability After George Floyd (Hardcover)

Examine one of the most pivotal social moments in recent history with Reckoning the Racial Reckoning by David Dante Troutt. This powerful and timely book analyzes the rise and rapid decline of the racial justice movement that followed George Floyd’s death in 2020. It explores how a rare national focus on systemic racism shifted into surface-level awareness, leaving deep inequalities in wealth, healthcare, and policing largely unresolved. Troutt critically evaluates legal systems, public policy, and the backlash against diversity initiatives, offering a clear-eyed look at why meaningful change proved difficult. Blending law, politics, and social analysis, this book challenges readers to move beyond symbolism toward real accountability and lasting reform.
