What do you say we end state repression? Yeah, you. And, right now. How should we get started? Begin with reading my new book with Ben Appel: The Death and Life of State Repression. We lay out the idea, think through what would be involved, develop a new theory of the phenomenon and engage in the most thorough examination of alternatives yet put together.
Seems like a good time to put out the call.
Gave a talk called "The United Racisms of America: Conceptualizing, Measuring and Understanding Anti-Black Human Rights Violations, 1850-2000" at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. This presents (for the first time) a new measure called "The Anti-Black Index" created with Prof. David Armstrong.
