The remarkable true story of an Indigenous family who fought back,
over multiple generations, against the world-destroying power of
settler colonial violence. Just weeks before police would kill him
in Gallup, New Mexico, in March of 1973, Larry Casuse wrote that
"never before have we faced an enemy such as this." An Enemy Such
as This, for the first time, tells the history of that colonial
enemy through the simultaneously epic and intimate story of Larry
Casuse and those, like him, who fought against it. From the
genocidal Mexican war against the Apaches in the nineteenth
century, through the collapse of European empires in the first half
of the twentieth century, and culminating in the efforts of young
Navajo activists and organizers in the second half of the twentieth
century to confront settler colonialism in New Mexico, the book
offers a resolutely Native-focused history of colonialism.
Grammaticalization has often been described as a gradual
phenomenon. While many studies have discussed the quantitative
aspects of grammaticalization, there has been little to no work
that has tried to propose a way of measuring degrees of
grammaticalization. This book addresses this gap by proposing a
corpus-based approach to the measurement of grammaticalization,
using binary logistic regression modelling. Such an approach has
theoretical benefits as it can provide empirical evidence for the
gradience and gradualness of grammaticalization. It can help
substantiate observations that have been done on the basis of case
studies so far, such as the hypothesized unidirectionality of
grammaticalization. In addition, as the methods proposed in this
book rely on corpus-based data only, it offers a way of comparing
grammaticalization across multiple languages, which is currently a
challenging endeavour. What this book hopes to achieve is to start
a discussion on the measurement of grammaticalization. To draw a
parallel, the field of morphological productivity has greatly
benefited from the discussions (and disputes) regarding how its
object of study should be measured, and I believe that so will the
field of grammaticalization.
This book armed activists on the streets-as well as the many who
have become concerned about police abuse-with a critical analysis
and ultimately a redefinition of the very idea of policing. The
book contends that when we talk about police and police reform, we
speak the language of police legitimation through the art of
euphemism. So state sexual assault become "body-cavity search," and
ruthless beatings become "non-compliance deterrence." A Field Guide
to the Police is a study of the indirect and taken-for granted
language of policing, a language we're all forced to speak when we
talk about law enforcement. In entries like "Police dog," "Stop and
frisk," and "Rough ride," the authors expose the way "copspeak"
suppresses the true meaning and history of policing. Like any other
field guide, it reveals a world that is hidden in plain view. The
book argues that a redefined language of policing might help chart
a future free society. Now in an expanded and updated edition,
including explanations of newsmaking new terms, like "dead names",
"kettling", and "qualified immunity", as well as a new foreword by
leading criminal justice advocate Craig Gilmore

This book 's radical theory of police argues that the police demand
for order is a class order and a racialized and patriarchal order,
by arguing that the police project, in order to fabricate and
defend capitalist order,must patrol an imaginary line between
society and nature, it must transform nature into inert matter made
available for accumulation. Police don 't just patrol the ghetto or
the Indian reservation, the thin blue line doesn 't just refer to a
social order, rather police announce a general claim to
domination--of labor and of nature. Police and police violence are
modes of environment-making. This edited volume argues that any
effort to understand racialized police violence is incomplete
without a focus on the role of police in constituting and
reinforcing patterns of environmental racism.

Through a compelling story about the conflict over a notorious
Mexican-period land grant in northern New Mexico, David Correia
examines how law and property are constituted through violence and
social struggle.
Spain and Mexico populated what is today New Mexico through large
common property land grants to sheepherders and agriculturalists.
After the U.S.-Mexican War the area saw rampant land speculation
and dubious property adjudication. Nearly all of the huge land
grants scattered throughout New Mexico were rejected by U.S. courts
or acquired by land speculators. Of all the land grant conflicts in
New Mexico's history, the struggle for the Tierra Amarilla land
grant, the focus of Correia's story, is one of the most
sensational, with numerous nineteenth-century speculators ranking
among the state's political and economic elite and a remarkable
pattern of resistance to land loss by heirs in the twentieth
century.
Correia narrates a long and largely unknown history of property
conflict in Tierra Amarilla characterized by nearly constant
violence--night riding and fence cutting, pitched gun battles, and
tanks rumbling along the rutted dirt roads of northern New Mexico.
The legal geography he constructs is one that includes a surprising
and remarkable cast of characters: millionaire sheep barons,
Spanish anarchists, hooded Klansmen, Puerto Rican terrorists, and
undercover FBI agents. By placing property and law at the center of
his study, "Properties of Violence" provocatively suggests that
violence is not the opposite of property but rather is essential to
its operation.
