    »I can't breathe«
    Am 25. Mai 2020 ging ein Video um die Welt, das den Mord an George Floyd zufällig festhielt: Ein Polizist kniet neun Minuten und 29 Sekunden auf Floyds Hals und lässt auch nicht davon ab, als Floyd mehrmals ruft: »I can't breathe« - »Ich kann nicht atmen!«Der Mord an George Floyd hat die Welt erschüttert und globale Black-Lives-Matter-Proteste gegen Rassismus und Polizeigewalt ausgelöst. In der ersten Biographie Floyds rekonstruieren die preisgekrönten Reporter Robert Samuels und Toluse Olorunnipa von der »Washington Post« die großen Zusammenhänge: Die Lebensgeschichte von George Floyd zeigt exemplarisch, wie Rassismus unsere Gesellschaften durchdringt und sein tödliches Gift entfaltet. Floyds Familie war schon seit Generationen Opfer von Rassismus. Und auch er selbst hatte mit den typischen Problemen eines Schwarzen in den USA zu kämpfen: ein Schulsystem, das Schwarze systematisch benachteiligt, die Hoffnung, durch den Sport dem Elend zu entkommen, die alltägliche Drangsalierung der Polizei, Erfahrungen im Gefängnis, Opioid-Sucht und die verzweifelten Versuche, ein normales Leben zu führen.Samuels und Olorunnipa haben für ihre Biographie mit mehr als 150 Menschen Interviews geführt, darunter Floyds Geschwister, erweiterte Familienmitglieder, Freunde, Kollegen, Beamte, Wissenschaftler und Aktivisten. Differenziert, breit recherchiert und packend erzählt, macht dieses Buch deutlich, wie tief die Probleme liegen und was auf dem Weg zu wahrer Gleichberechtigung zu tun bleibt.

    His Name Is George Floyd: One Man's Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice
    In this groundbreaking biography of George Floyd, Washington Post reporters Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa use the prism of entrenched poverty, systemic racism, a broken criminal justice system, and police violence to tell the story of one man's life, revealing how his tragic killing ignited an international movement for change On May 25, 2020, at the age of forty-six, George Floyd was murdered outside a Minneapolis convenience store by white police officer Derek Chauvin. His death set off a series of protests in the United States and around the world, awakening millions to the dire need for reimagining this country's broken systems of policing. But while police brutality may have been the final injustice of Floyd's life, it was far from the first. This definitive biography of George Floyd places his life within the larger context of America's deeply troubled history, offering an unparalleled look into the forces and experiences that shaped him. From his family's roots in slavery and sharecropping, from his childhood attending segregated Houston schools, from his gridiron dreams to his stints in prison, and his attempts to break free from drug dependence, we see the willpower, hope, and determination Floyd carried, as well as the inescapable pressures of an America built to entrap him. In examining how systemic racism is entrenched in institutions like housing, health care, education, and prisons - and by comparing the trajectory of Floyd's life with that of Derek Chauvin - Washington Post reporters Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa make a poignant and compelling case for what it truly means to envision a different America.

What was life like for him? And why has his death been the catalyst for such a powerful global response?The murder of George Floyd sparked a summer of activism and unrest all over the world in 2020, from Shetland to São Paolo, as people marched under the Black Lives Matter banner, demanding an end to racial injustice. But behind a face that would be graffitied onto countless murals, and a name that has become synonymous with civil rights, there is the reality of one man's stolen life.In His Name is George Floyd we meet the kind young boy who talked his friends out of beating up a skinny kid from another neighbourhood and then befriended him on the walk home. Big Floyd the high school American football player who ignored his coach's pleas to be more aggressive and felt queasy at the sight of blood. The man who fell victim to an opioid epidemic we are only just beginning to understand. The sensitive son and loving father, constantly in search of a better life in a society determined to write him off based on things he had no control over: where he grew up, the size of his body and the colour of his skin. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with friends and family members, His Name Is George Floyd reveals the myriad ways that structural racism shaped Floyd's life and death - from his forebears' roots in slavery to an underfunded education, the overpolicing of his community and the devastating snare of the prison system.

    His Name Is George Floyd: One Man's Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice
    A landmark biography by two prizewinning Washington Post reporters that reveals how systemic racism shaped George Floyd's life and legacy-from his family's roots in the tobacco fields of North Carolina, to ongoing inequality in housing, education, health care, criminal justice, and policing-telling the singular story of how one man's tragic experience brought about a global movement for change. "Since we know George Floyd's death with tragic clarity, we must know Floyd's America-and life-with tragic clarity. Essential for our times." -Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist "A much-needed portrait of the life, times, and martyrdom of George Floyd, a chronicle of the racial awakening sparked by his brutal and untimely death, and an essential work of history I hope everyone will read." -Henry Louis Gates, Jr., author of The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song The events of that day are now tragically familiar: on May 25, 2020, George Floyd became the latest Black person to die at the hands of the police, murdered outside of a Minneapolis convenience store by white officer Derek Chauvin. The video recording of his death set off the largest protest movement in the history of the United States, awakening millions to the pervasiveness of racial injustice. But long before his face was painted onto countless murals and his name became synonymous with civil rights, Floyd was a father, partner, athlete, and friend who constantly strove for a better life. His Name Is George Floyd tells the story of a beloved figure from Houston's housing projects as he faced the stifling systemic pressures that come with being a Black man in America. Placing his narrative within the context of the country's enduring legacy of institutional racism, this deeply reported account examines Floyd's family roots in slavery and sharecropping, the segregation of his schools, the overpolicing of his community amid a wave of mass incarceration, and the callous disregard toward his struggle with addiction-putting today's inequality into uniquely human terms. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with Floyd's closest friends and family, his elementary school teachers and varsity coaches, civil rights icons, and those in the highest seats of political power, Washington Post reporters Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa offer a poignant and moving exploration of George Floyd's America, revealing how a man who simply wanted to breathe ended up touching the world.
