Riassunto

"Taking Sides is more than a book; it's a politic aimed at the heart of every radical struggling against a racist state." &;Luis A. Fernandez, author of Policing Dissent

Taking Sides is a critical response to divisive debates within current movements against police violence and white supremacy, especially since Michael Brown's murder. These sharp interventions ask activists to avoid easy&;and safe&;answers and take on the hard work of building real grassroots solidarity across racial lines.

Cindy Milstein is author of Anarchism and Its Aspirations. Her essays appeared in Realizing the Impossible, Confronting Capitalism, and Globalize Liberation.

Su questo libro

Recensione

Taking Sides is arriving right when we need it, a tool to infuse complex contemporary movement conversations with useful accounts of our movement histories and insightful analysis about how we practice solidarity. It brings deep thinking about recent flash points into ongoing dialogues about leadership, strategy, and infrastructure in ways that shed new light on difficult questions. Taking Sides is a sharp, brilliant tool for activists on the ground. --Dean Spade, author of Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law

From the arresting title through thirteen brilliant essays, this reader is a gem. Alliances and the problem with ally politics, decolonization demands, a defense of riots, exposing gender violence, fighting back against police violence, and contesting white supremacy are among the timely issues presented in militant terms. The diversity of the authors gives depth to First Nations, African American, and immigrant views of the North American reality. This promises to be a handbook for every social justice activist. --Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States

Taking Sides is more than a book; it s a politic aimed at the heart of every radical struggling against a racist state. Its goal is simple: to challenge prevalent 'ally politics', and replace them with an accomplice model that seeks abolition, decolonization, and strong solidarity based on equal footing. Collectively, the writings serve as essential tools for those seeking to build a new world in the shell of the old. --Luis A. Fernandez, author of Policing Dissent and Shutting Down the Streets
