How does protest become criminalised? Applying an anthropological
perspective to political and legal conflicts, Carolijn Terwindt
urges us to critically question the underlying interests and logic
of prosecuting protesters. The book draws upon ethnographic
research in Chile, Spain, and the United States to trace
prosecutorial narratives in three protracted contentious episodes
in liberal democracies. Terwindt examines the conflict between
Chilean landowners and the indigenous Mapuche people, the Spanish
state and the Basque independence movement, and the United States'
criminalisation of 'eco-terrorists.' Exploring how patterns and
mechanisms of prosecutorial narrative emerge through distinct
political, social and democratic contexts, Terwindt shines a light
on how prosecutorial narratives in each episode changed
significantly over time. Challenging the law and justice system and
warning against relying on criminal law to deal with
socio-political conflicts, Terwindt's observations have
implications for a wide range of actors and constituencies,
including social movement activists, scholars, and prosecutors.
