As the political climate of the United States moves rightward,
effective and visionary voices from the left become both rarer and
more essential. In this volume, the author provides such a voice.
Taking the convergence of race, gender and class as fundamental
trajectories, the author offers an account of a world in which the
United States functions as the political-police centre. At its
core, the work is about the many ways the current structure of
American government and society is inimical to human rights. The
author examines the prevalence of racist violence in US politics,
making connections between seemingly disparate themes and events,
and linking global and US domestic politics. In the systematic
nature of state violence, James sees a possibility of hope in the
building of coalitions across race, class, gender and national
divides. She argues that the very commonality that makes the system
seem so overpowering can serve as the basis for resistance - that
the elements that hold together a web of oppression and misuse of
power also mark its vulnerabilities, especially when confronted
with an equally systematic resistance. The author offers solutions
for the dilemmas facing progressive politics and the individuals
who work to achieve social justice. This is a guidebook for those
who want to understand that forces that hinder social change, and
to effectively move beyond them.
