Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? 豆瓣
作者: Maya Schenwar / Joe Macaré Haymarket Books 2016 - 6
Explores the reality of US police violence against Black, Brown and Indigenous communities.
What is the reality of policing in the United States? Do the police keep anyone safe and secure other than the very wealthy? How do recent police killings of young black people in the United States fit into the historical and global context of anti-blackness?
This collection of reports and essays (the first collaboration between Truthout and Haymarket Books) explores police violence against black, brown, indigenous and other marginalized communities, miscarriages of justice, and failures of token accountability and reform measures. It also makes a compelling and provocative argument against calling the police.
Contributions cover a broad range of issues including the killing by police of black men and women, police violence against Latino and indigenous communities, law enforcement's treatment of pregnant people and those with mental illness, and the impact of racist police violence on parenting, as well as specific stories such as a Detroit police conspiracy to slap murder convictions on young black men using police informant and the failure of Chicago's much-touted Independent Police Review Authority, the body supposedly responsible for investigating police misconduct. The title Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? is no mere provocation: the book also explores alternatives for keeping communities safe.
Contributors include William C. Anderson, Candice Bernd, Aaron Cantú, Thandi Chimurenga, Ejeris Dixon, Adam Hudson, Victoria Law, Mike Ludwig, Sarah Macaraeg, and Roberto Rodriguez.

Shocking to see how this policing system survives such a long time with totally acting as a oppressing and killing machine. 行动者在呈现当下的遭遇中回溯历史,重新揭开popo外衣下的起源面目:服务于奴隶主、资本家、白人政治精英的秩序打手。stop-and-frisk之中不成比例的人群对比数据不会说谎,一个个逝去的生命不会说谎,那堆甚至针对怀孕的有色人种妇女的压迫制度也不会说谎。一些论者对oppressed群体合作之间的间隙直言不讳,对制度性替代方案的构想也提供了一部分实践总结。只是世事艰难,这些方案离全面实现还很远。

The Zinn Reader 豆瓣
作者: Howard Zinn Seven Stories Press 2009 - 7
No other radical historian has reached so many hearts and minds as Howard Zinn. It is rare that a historian of the Left has managed to retain as much credibility while refusing to let his academic mantle change his beautiful writing style from being anything but direct, forthright, and accessible. Whether his subject is war, race, politics, economic justice, or history itself, each of his works serves as a reminder that to embrace one's subjectivity can mean embracing one's humanity, that heart and mind can speak with one voice. Here, in six sections, is the historian's own choice of his shorter essays on some of the most critical problems facing America throughout its history, and today.

#电子书 细读了on disobedience和on violence两部分。阿伦特从道德的主观性的层面否认抗命从个人良心拒绝出发的可能(批评梭罗传统),强调抗命行动是集体观念认同的呈现。不过她会遇到一种难题:为何不能是良心拒绝之间的共鸣催生了共同行动?如动保就被很多理论者作为抗命看待;暴力的对立面是power而非nonviolence,当行动力量(如扭转不公重树正义)表现的渠道受阻,暴力则作为宣泄的破坏力将社会带向不确定之境。她猛批那类将暴力与本能划等号的动物研究结论,论证“理性”的暴力同样可怖。

Violence and Social Order
8.6 (9 个评分) 作者: 道格拉斯·C. 诺思 / 约翰· 约瑟夫· 瓦利斯 译者: 杭行 / 王亮 上海格致出版社 2013 - 6
《暴力与社会秩序》在一个较为广阔的社会科学和历史学的框架中研究暴力问题,揭示经济行为与政治行为是怎样紧密地联结在一起的。在大多数我们称之为自然国家(natural states)的社会里,暴力的限制是通过对经济的政治操控而产生的特权利益(privileged interests)来达成的。特权使暴力不至于被强势的个人滥用,但这么做无疑又会阻碍经济和政治的发展。反之,现代社会则是通过开放经济与政治组织的权利,培育政治与经济的竞争,来限制暴力的。本书为我们理解这两种类型的社会秩序,以及为何开放的社会无论是政治还是经济都较为发达、何以有25个国家由一种社会秩序转型为了另一种,提供了一个框架。
