The Overseer Class: A Manifesto<\/em><\/a>
By Steven W. Thrasher\u00a0
Amistad, 386 pages, May 2026<\/p>\n

In The Overseer Class<\/em><\/a>, scholar, journalist and activist Steven Thrasher lays out his theory of the \u201cphenomenon in which people from marginalized populations amass power not by uplifting people from the communities they come from, but by collectively cracking the skulls of their own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

For his take on this familiar problem, he draws on contemporary theorists like Ol\u00faf\u1eb9\u0301mi O. T\u00e1\u00edw\u00f2<\/a>, whose book Elite Capture<\/em> shows how \u201ca radical concept can be stripped of its political substance and liberatory potential,\u201d as well as authors James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, whose work and lives were aimed at overthrowing the overseers he describes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else,\u201d he quotes Morrison telling her students in 2003. \u201cIf you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With similar passion, Thrasher offers a powerful cultural and political critique, academic analysis, and \u2014 as his book\u2019s subtitle suggests \u2014 \u201cA Manifesto<\/em>.\u201d Almost Chomsky-like both in his explanation of how we are groomed through the media and propaganda, and in his approach, Thrasher provides so many examples to define his terms and their nuances that it becomes implausible to disagree with him (and embarrassing when he names some of your favorite films or TV shows).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Look no further the 2023 news cycle \u201cdominated with a powerful message of state-approved genocide of an indigenous people\u201d in Gaza, Thrasher writes, and how \u201cthat lethal message was largely delivered by Black Americans.\u201d Key figures included: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre; United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield and her Deputy Robert Wood, who cast the lone vote in the U.N. Security Council against a ceasefire that December, \u201cacting as a kind of global Black cop for the ruling class.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

While he does call out \u201coverseers who specifically have ill intent,\u201d Thrasher focuses overall on class dynamics. \u201cWhen it comes to how racial capitalism is maintained,\u201d he writes, \u201cthe systemic, economic dynamics of an overseer class of people are indispensable to upholding hierarchies of patriarchy, race and cis-heterosexism.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He considers \u201cfour types of marginalized people who advance into positions of power,\u201d starting with \u201cUncle Toms,\u201d a term he says is often mistakenly applied to sellouts. The titular novel, Uncle Tom,<\/em> Thrasher clarifies, is about an enslaved man \u201cwhose power came from his attempt to protect<\/em> other people even at the cost of his own suffering and life.\u201d In contrast, \u2018tokens\u201d refer to someone who is \u201can isolated, minoritized worker with little or no real power and whose identity is subject to heightened scrutiny.\u201d\u00a0 Meanwhile, Thrasher spends the most time describing \u201coverseers,\u201d those who are often a \u201chistoric first\u2026 but unwilling, and sometimes unable, to expand the number of people like them in their organization.\u201d The type you want to be, he argues, is a \u201cToni\u201d (named after Toni Morrison), because \u201ca Toni does not<\/em> want to be the \u2018first and only\u2019 and works their ass off to push open the door for other people who have not been welcomed inside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s first chapter and many of its examples refer to police, but Thrasher also zooms in on corporate America, the U.S. armed forces, and the mass media, which he says pushes out propaganda, its subspecialty, copaganda<\/em> and its sub-subspecialty, copablanda<\/em>\u201d \u2014 his term for \u201cBlack copaganda<\/em>, which is meant to make Black cops killing Black people so quotidian and \u2018blah\u2019 as to be unremarkable.\u201d Going through the decades, he starts with overseers on slave plantations and continues in through films and TV shows from today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thrasher taught social justice in reporting at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Chicago, and draws on his decades of experience that went into his first book, The Viral Underclass<\/em>, as well as his ordeal of being denied tenure and having his classes cancelled after he supported students who set up a Palestine solidarity encampment in 2024 to protest the Gaza genocide. When Thrasher linked arms with other faculty to stop police from violently evicting the students, he found himself brutalized in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He told Democracy Now! <\/em>at the time: \u201cWhat they don\u2019t like is that I am now applying the same social justice journalism principles that I\u2019ve applied to race and that I\u2019ve applied to LGBTQ people, to COVID and HIV, that I was now applying those to Palestine.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the book, he calls out the complicity of Phillip Brian Harper, his professor and former dean of the Graduate School at NYU; Brian A. Lewis, Chief of Police at Northwestern University; and Charles Whitaker, dean of the Medill School of Journalism.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be naive enough to think that Black university administrations would help people like me to navigate a career in primarily white institutions,\u201d Thrasher writes. \u201cBut when I began speaking out against the decades-long colonial war in Palestine, I noticed something. In the same manner in which Sidney Poitier\u2019s Lt. Tibbs is sent to the Black side of town to shake information out of a Black abortionist a white cop could never have gotten [near the end of] In the Heat of the Night<\/em>, I believe Black administrators were hired into their position to crack our Negro skulls, to beat our critical impulses out of our black asses, and to murder our careers if called upon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

On his book tour and online, Thrasher continues to call out new examples, noting recently how \u201cMamdani hired Edwin Raymond as a new sheriff, whose book An Inconvenient Cop<\/em> I critique extensively in The Overseer Class<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thrasher\u2019s book offers clarity at a time when \u201crainbow capitalism\u201d is not a serious response to the growing authoritarianism of Trump\u2019s billionaire-backed white nationalist regime. Thrasher makes it easier to see how the overseer class \u201cis established at different levels in various sectors of American society, in order to navigate around this present reality so we don\u2019t have to accept it as a certain future.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a way, Thrasher has put himself forth as another role model for all of us who refuse to keep our head down as we lift others up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
