It Takes A Nation Of Million To Fight The Power Vol.2
It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Fight The Power is a groundbreaking two‑volume
series that exposes the deep roots and ongoing consequences of the War on Drugs,
tracing how policy, policing, and political narratives have shaped generations
of harm in Black, Brown, and poor communities across the United States. Blending
historical analysis, cultural critique, and lived experience, Dr. Carl L. Young
illuminates the structural forces that created today’s landscape of mass
criminalization while honoring the resilience, brilliance, and organizing power
that have always existed within these communities.
Across both volumes, readers follow the journey of Tanisha Monette, a young woman
whose life has been directly shaped by the policies she now fights to dismantle.
In Vol. 1, Tanisha confronts the legacy of the War on Drugs within her own family
and community, awakening to the systems that have defined her world. In Vol. 2, she
steps into a new chapter of leadership, joined by her siblings as they build momentum
inside Justice Now, a grassroots movement committed to truth‑telling, healing, and structural change.
Together, the two volumes offer a sweeping yet intimate portrait of struggle and resistance revealing
not only how the War on Drugs came to be, but how a new generation is rising to end it. Urgent, accessible,
and deeply human, the series invites readers to understand the truth, confront the harm, and join the fight
for collective liberation.
