Isaac Madison's Get Your Knee Off Our Necks Shines a Light on Race and Justice in America
The 400-page book blends lived experience with thoughtful critique, offering a raw and unfiltered look at the realities faced by Black communities. Madison's essays examine disparities in criminal justice, the persistence of bias, and the ongoing struggle for equality, while also pointing to progress and practical steps toward change.
Critics have already called the book "one of the most influential and poignant collections of honest prose on race in recent years." Madison writes candidly about recurring patterns of discrimination, drawing parallels between the civil rights struggles of the 1960s and today's America.
"People of color keep getting told how much better things are today, yet we see the same things happening that occurred 50-60 years ago," Madison notes in one essay. "While we have seen improvements, we have not seen complete equality."
Get Your Knee Off Our Necks is more than a call to awareness, it is a guide for empathy, healing, and action. Madison highlights how individual prejudice fuels systemic inequality and encourages readers to adopt personal strategies for reducing bias in everyday life.
The book also emphasizes the importance of acknowledging both the pain of the past and the progress being made toward a more equal future.
Now available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major online retailers. The book can also be found in select physical bookstores across the United States.
