Tasseli McKay: Why I wrote STOLEN WEALTH, HIDDEN POWER

"An important contribution to our liberation work as abolitionists."-Patrisse Cullors, New York Times-bestselling author, educator, artist, and abolitionist
Researcher Tasseli McKay shares what motivated her to write her book, STOLEN WEALTH, HIDDEN POWER, a meticulous accounting of the total economic devastation wreaked on Black communities by mass incarceration with an action guide for vital reparations.
Stolen Wealth, Hidden Power is a staggering account of the destruction wrought by mass incarceration. Finding that the economic value of the damages to Black individuals, families, and communities totals $7.16 trillion-roughly 86 percent of the current Black-White wealth gap-this compelling and exhaustive analysis puts unprecedented empirical heft behind an urgent call for reparations.
Tasseli McKay is a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research fellow at Duke University and an affiliate of RTI International. She holds a doctorate in social policy from the London School of Economics and is lead author of Holding On: Family and Fatherhood during Incarceration and Reentry.
