About this listen

“A passionate, incisive critique of the many ways in which women and girls of color are systematically erased or marginalized in discussions of police violence.” (Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow)

Invisible No More is a timely examination of how Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color experience racial profiling, police brutality, and immigration enforcement. By placing the individual stories of Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Dajerria Becton, Monica Jones, and Mya Hall in the broader context of the twin epidemics of police violence and mass incarceration, Andrea Ritchie documents the evolution of movements centered around women’s experiences of policing.

Featuring a powerful forward by activist Angela Davis, Invisible No More is an essential exposé on police violence against WOC that demands a radical rethinking of our visions of safety - and the means we devote to achieving it.

Please read and reread!

This is an amazing book. Powerful, well researched, and a much needed wake up call

Narrator can’t manage this book

This is a pretty academic book with long, complex sentences. I’m not sure most narrators could handle it but Baha’i Turpin doesn’t get the emphasis or the sequence right. Sometimes her reading actually changes the meaning. She dies well with the voices in first person accounts but that’s not most of the book. It’s a challenging book but it deserves a better audio version

Small issue

I hate that the narrator pronounces harassment as hair-ess-ment. This word is used constantly throughout the book and it was grating every time. Otherwise this book is devastating and an extremely important and needed text.

Terrible narrator, robotic voice.

An great book ruined by a terrible narrator.
I read the book while listening to the audiobook, and the narrator gets a few things wrong. One time, the narrator says "1977" when it says "1997" in the book. But most annoyingly, the narrator often read commas as punctuation, giving the listener the impression that the sentence has ended, when it was in fact just a comma.
The robotic voice is also horrible to listen to.

Compelling

Ritchie keeps track of horrific injustices and doesn't just list them but describes what
is systematically going on
