Join professor and author David
Stovall in examining the long fight of
Black people in Chicago to thrive in a
city facing school closings,
destruction of public housing, and
oppressive law enforcement. With a
novel approach to the question of how
state-sanctioned violence and
abandonment impacts low-income
communities, Engineered Conflict uses
examples from Chicago’s recent
history to shed light on the politics of
disposability.
