Beskrivning

Offering a diagnostic global perspective on police brutality, Towards Anti-policing: Prefiguring Possibilities beyond the Thin Blue Line raises critical questions about whether policing is needed at all and what underlying purpose it actually serves. In this post-pandemic era, where the grip of authoritarianism has only tightened, Towards Anti-policing positions radical grassroots activism as a first line of critical defiance against the ‘Fear Terror Paradigm’ of policing logics and the pervasive brutality that this form of community control represents.

Recensioner i media

“Edited by two leading scholars in anarchist geographies, Simon Springer and Richard J. White, this book is a cry for freedom against the brutality of constituted powers and all associated dogmatisms, militarisms, and fanaticisms, even when they are styled as ‘alternative’. A cry that concerns everybody who wants to make scholarship a socially relevant practice.”
