Issac Chotiner interviewed Vicky Osterweil for the New Yorker’s website about her provocative new book IN DEFENSE OF LOOTING. Osterweil takes the opportunity to elaborate on her stance, saying, “I think a lot of people think that, in order for something to be political, people have to be yelling a slogan as they do it . . . [a]nd I don’t subscribe to that belief in political action . . . we are in a moment during those riots that is a generalized moment of anti-police action.” Bold Type Books published the book on August 25, 2020.
