Immigrant Protest

Immigrant Protest

State University of New York Press
2015
pokkari
Explores how political activism, art, and popular culture challenge the discrimination and injustice faced by "illegal" and displaced peoples.The last decade has witnessed a global explosion of immigrant protests, political mobilizations by irregular migrants and pro-migrant activists. This volume considers the implications of these struggles for critical understandings of citizenship and borders. Scholars, visual and performance artists, and activists explore the ways in which political activism, art, and popular culture can work to challenge the multiple forms of discrimination and injustice faced by "illegal" and displaced peoples. They focus on a wide range of topics, including desire and neo-colonial violence in film, visibility and representation, pedagogical function of protest, and the role of the arts and artists in the explosion of political protests that challenge the precarious nature of migrant life in the Global North. They also examine shifting practices of boundary making and boundary taking, changing meanings and lived experiences of citizenship, arguing for a noborder politics enacted through a "noborder scholarship."This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to Knowledge Unlatched-an initiative that provides libraries and institutions with a centralized platform to support OA collections and from leading publishing houses and OA initiatives.

Policing Protest

Policing Protest

Paul A. Passavant

Duke University Press
2021
sidottu
In Policing Protest Paul A. Passavant explores how the policing of protest in the United States has become increasingly hostile since the late 1990s, moving away from strategies that protect protesters toward militaristic practices designed to suppress protests. He identifies reactions to three interrelated crises that converged to institutionalize this new mode of policing: the political mobilization of marginalized social groups in the Civil Rights era that led to a perceived crisis of democracy, the urban fiscal crisis of the 1970s, and a crime crisis that was associated with protests and civil disobedience of the 1960s. As Passavant demonstrates, these reactions are all haunted by the figure of black insurrection, which continues to shape policing of protest and surveillance, notably in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Ultimately, Passavant argues, this trend of violent policing strategies against protesters is evidence of the emergence of a post-democratic state in the United States.

Popular Protest in China

Popular Protest in China

Teresa Wright

Polity Press
2018
sidottu
Popular protest in China has been widespread and prevalent. Why do people protest and how are such demonstrations handled by the authorities? Could they ultimately imperil China’s political system? In this book, Teresa Wright analyzes the array of protests that have swept China in the post-Mao period. Exploring popular contention through a range of different groups – from farmers to factory workers, urban homeowners to environmentalists, nationalists to dissidents, ethnic minorities to Hong Kong residents, Wright shows that – with the exception of the latter – popular protest has achieved adequate government responses to the public’s most serious grievances. Yet Wright cautions that this may not last forever. For Chinese citizens that engage in protest often suffer serious emotional and physical costs. As a result, they have developed an unhealthy relationship with the regime. In this context, Xi Jinping’s recent efforts to restrict public expression may backfire – leading to an explosive dynamic that may threaten the political stability that China’s ruling elites so desire.

Shantytown Protest in Pinochet's Chile

Shantytown Protest in Pinochet's Chile

C Schneider

Temple University Press,U.S.
1995
sidottu
In 1973, armed forces launched a violent attack against the Chilean presidential palace and Santiago's slums and shantytowns. For ten years, only the Catholic Church was able to defy the military regime. Then, in 1983, students, workers, and shantytown residents stormed the streets demanding the resignation of Augusto Pinochet. The protests raged for three years and, in 1989, democratic elections were held. The following year a new civilian government took office. Cathy Lisa Schneider examines this democratic transition from the bottom up, looking at the struggles of poor people to create and sustain organized resistance, to risk their lives to fight tyranny. Both an oral history based on over a hundred interviews collected in shantytowns and a comparative sociological study that explores political differences among different shantytowns in Santiago, this book analyzes the context in which the urban poor make choices about their lives, and the political histories that shape their vision. Author note: Cathy Lisa Schneider is Assistant Professor at the School for International Studies at American University.

Hairetischer Protest: Reformatorische Bewegungen im Buddhismus und Christentum

Hairetischer Protest: Reformatorische Bewegungen im Buddhismus und Christentum

Yukio Matsudo

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
nidottu
Reformatorische Bewegungen im Buddhismus und Christentum lassen sich unter dem gemeinsamen Nenner des "hairetischen Protests" zusammenfassen und miteinander vergleichen. Reformatoren gehen von einer kritischen Wahrnehmung der als dekadent zu verurteilenden Welt aus und wollen diese zu einem urspr nglichen Zustand zur ckbringen. Sie bedienen sich dabei eines hairetischen Verfahrens zur Grundlegung ihrer neuen Lehre, indem sie auf die Quellen ihrer jeweiligen religi sen Tradition zur ckgreifen und eine Auswahl treffen. Davon ausgehend treten sie mit dem neo-orthodoxen Anspruch auf, dass sie im Besitz der einzig authentischen Lehre seien, w hrend alle anderen herk mmlichen Lehren und Praktiken als verf lscht verurteilt werden. So fordern die Reformatoren den religi sen und weltlichen Status quo zu einer Wende heraus. Als Vertreter der neobuddhistischen Bewegungen im Japan des 13. Jh. Sind im vorliegenden Werk u.a. folgende Reformatoren behandelt: Honen, Gr nder der Jodo-Schule, Shinran, Gr nder der Jodo-Shin-Schule, Dogen, Gr nder der Soto-Zen-Schule, Eizon, Gr nder der Shingon-Ritsu-Schule und Nichiren, Gr nder der Nichiren-Schule, Honen, Gr nder der Jodo-Schule. Die neochristlichen Bewegungen im Europa des 16. Jh. lassen sich u.a. durch folgende Reformatoren vertreten: Martin Luther, Gr nder der Evangelischen Kirche, Huldrych Zwingli, Gr nder der Z richer Kirchenreform, Felix Mantz, Mitgr nder der T uferbewegung, Ignatius von Loyola, Gr nder des Jesuitenordens und Thomas M ntzer, Mitstreiter der Bauernaufst nde.

Popular Protest in the New Middle East

Popular Protest in the New Middle East

Knudsen Are; Ezbidi Basem

I.B. Tauris
2014
sidottu
In the wake of the protests that spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa in late 2010 and early 2011, Islamist movements of varying political persuasions have risen to prominence. This is especially the case in post-Mubarak Egypt and post-Ben Ali Tunisia. Popular Protest in the New Middle East examines Islamist approaches to political participation and integration in the Arab world and asks whether regional trends can be discerned with respect to either the strategy of disparate movements or the challenges they confront in the various states in which they operate. It offers analysis of the ideologies and actions of these movements, ranging from countries where Islamism is in control of the state as an Islamic theocracy (Iran), the ruling party (for example, Turkey), part of the ruling coalition (Lebanon), or a parliamentary minority (such as in Jordan or Yemen). The question of political participation, and by implication integration into existing political systems, has been a significant issue for Islamist movements. Some, opting for the role of a revolutionary vanguard, have rejected the concept of participation outright. Others, particularly those that have developed a broad popular base and operate in states where local or national elections are conducted, have invested heavily in participation, either as a method of achieving political power, or as a means of influencing public policy. This book offers a systematic examination of a variety of examples of the actions of Islamist movements, from those that employ more militant tactics to those that have a more quietist approach. Are Knudsen and Basem Ezbidi bring together an examination of the effects that various experiences of participation and integration have had on the individual movements concerned and the broader Islamist trend throughout the Middle East, making this book vital for researchers of the impact of religion on politics (and, indeed vice versa).
