Description
As we step into an era of rising fascism and normalized genocide, Confronting Counterinsurgency: Cop Cities and Democracy's Terrors is an invaluable contribution to the fightback.
Joy James brings together the voices of frontline activists, artists, and organisers from movements against militarism and state violence in the USA, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Palestine, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and within prison walls. The book includes accessible and revealing discussions of the role of institutions, universities, and nonprofit organisations in the suppression of radical movements. It introduces and analyses contemporary militarised policing projects like Cop City, ICE, and the School of the Americas, linking them to historical and contemporary settler colonialism and slavery.
Made as an offering of revolutionary love, Confronting Counterinsurgency will be a crucial tool for deepening and radicalising our analysis and learning from each other's movements, in order to strengthen our resistance and unite to fight for a better world.
