| In Policing Dissent, Luis Fernandez provides critical and in-depth analysis on how police control radical social movements.
In November 1999, fifty thousand anti-globalization activists converged on Seattle to shut down the World Trade Organization's Ministerial Meeting. Using innovative and network-based strategies, the protesters left police flummoxed, desperately searching for ways to control the crowds in Seattle and the emerging anti-corporate globalization movement. Faced with these network-based tactics, law enforcement agencies transformed their policing and social control mechanisms to manage this new movement. The book provides a firsthand account of the changing nature of control efforts employed by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies when confronted with mass activism. Based on ethnographic research, and using an incisive, cutting-edge theoretical framework, Fernandez maps the use of legal, physical, and psychological approaches. Policing Dissent also offers readers the richness of experiential detail and engaging stories often lacking in studies of police practices and social movements. This book does not merely seek to explain the causal relationship between repression and mobilization. Rather, it shows how social control strategies act on the mind and body of protesters. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Luis A. Fernandez is a professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Northern Arizona University. He has worked for several research institutions, including the National Council on Crime and Delinquency. He serves on the board of directors for the Society for the Study of Social Problems and is a founding member of the Institute for the Study of Dissent and Social Control (http://www.dissensio.org). |

In these pages Fernandez exposes the cancer of runaway state bullying and political intolerance that are an ever larger part of American policing. This book is frightening, urgent -- crucial reading."--Christian Parenti, author of "Lockdown America" and the "Soft Cage" “Fernandez’s survey of new protest policing helps us all feel the chill—not just of mass mobilizations but of dissent itself.”—Amory Starr, author of Naming the Enemy and Global Revolt “An important contribution to our understanding of the state’s response to unrest that puts the scholarship on protest policing into contact with the repressive reality.”—Kristian Williams, author of Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America "In Luis Fernandez’s Policing Dissent the crackling energy of contemporary street protest animates a careful analysis of late modern social control. In fact, Fernandez catches those very moments when social activism and social control collide—and finds in them a dangerous politics of the present day." --Jeff Ferrell, author of Tearing Down the Streets: Adventures in Urban Anarchy “A fascinating look at a vitally important movement for social change—and the obstacles it faces. Important reading for self-reflective activists.” Starhawk, author of The Fifth Sacred Thing and Webs of Power.top: 0px;" border="0" |
