We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement is a non-fiction book written by Akinyele Umoja, an American author and educator. It was published in April 2013 by New York University Press.
A review in The Clarion-Ledger in 2015 described the book as following "confrontations in communities across the state through the end of the 1970s, demonstrating how black Mississippians were ultimately able to overcome intimidation by mainstream society, defeat legal segregation, and claim a measure of political control of their state." The author was honored for the book in 2014 in Oakland.
