Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh argument for rioting and looting as our most powerful tools for dismantling white supremacy. Looting -- a crowd of people publicly, openly, and directly seizing goods -- is one of the more extreme actions that can take place in the midst of social unrest. Even self-identified radicals distance themselves from looters, fearing that violent tactics reflect badly on the broader movement. But Vicky Osterweil argues that stealing goods and destroying property are direct, pragmatic strategies of wealth redistribution and improving life for the working class -- not to mention the brazen messages these methods send to the police and the state. All our beliefs about the innate righteousness of property and ownership, Osterweil explains, are built on the history of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous oppression. From slave revolts to labor strikes to the modern-day movements for climate change, Black lives, and police abolition, Osterweil makes a convincing case for rioting and looting as weapons that bludgeon the status quo while uplifting the poor and marginalized. In Defense of Looting is a history of violent protest sparking social change, a compelling reframing of revolutionary activism, and a practical vision for a dramatically restructured society.

Download or read book Rioting and Looting written by Reverend W. Day and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rioting and looting are evolutionary terms and actions whose ancestor can be traced to biblical origins. They are never the primary action but almost and always prompted by some primary factor. They are the prodigy of the biblical "spoil" and "plunder" that is often the preferred method of seizure, restitution, or economic gains that God instructed the Israelite to assert their rights to. America, the great nation that it purports to be is perhaps the greatest looter that has chartered a course that is contrary to God's will and in direct contradiction to her own creed "that all men are created equal." This trajectory has a stark similarity to the biblical account as recorded in the book of Exodus where the Israelite, for no other reason than their increased population growth, were subjected to cruel and unusual punishment of slavery at the direction of the Pharaoh and at the hands of Egypt's harsh taskmasters. This injustice spanned over a period of four hundred and thirty years before God intervened and exacted his divine retributive justice upon the "hardened hearts" of the Egyptian Pharaoh. The Israelite's, at the direction of God, "plundered" the Egyptians and were given restitution, compensation, and reparation for the atrocities inflicted upon them. America is approaching four hundred and four years since the year 1619, and God has revealed that his divine retributive justice will be exacted upon America. Black people and people of color, after the plagues imposed upon America, will be granted restitution, compensation, and reparation for the cruel and unjust atrocities inflicted upon them. To avert this impending doom, White America must sit down at the table of brotherhood with its citizens of color and acknowledge and dismantle her "white privileges" with the commitment to restore and compensate Black America for the injustices inflicted upon them.

Download or read book The Case for Reclamation written by Sarah Elizabeth Bosworth and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looting and rioting are two contentious elements of protest that have appeared throughout movements for racial justice in the United States. These two strategies have often been dismissed by both onlookers and movement organizers as unlawful, violent forms of protest that fail to accomplish the goals of the movements they occur in. Demystifying the processes of racialization and criminalization that have occurred to the terms "loot" and "riot" through an analysis of the Tulsa Riot of 1921 and the Watts Riots of 1965, I argue that looting and rioting are radical strategies with revolutionary potential when employed by Black bodies in movements for racial justice. In redefining the terms "loot" and "riot," this thesis seeks to redefine such tactics as forms of revolutionary protest because they strike at the heart of the racist and oppressive economic and civil structures that make up the legal formation of the United States.
Download or read book Mad Mobs and Englishmen written by Cliff Stott and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 2011, London and many other English towns and cities erupted into some of the worst rioting for decades. David Cameron blamed a broken society with a sick morality; Tony Blair a defiant underclass. Yet with no evidence to support their claims, their remarks were typical of the storm of uninformed comments that followed the riots, based largely on longstanding misconceptions of why people riot. With their extensive expertise in crowd behaviour and psychology, and years of research experience studying crowds, riots and hooliganism worldwide, psychologists Steve Reicher and Cliff Stott challenge the myths of the 2011 riots perpetuated in the media and elsewhere; consider the reality on the ground and how to avoid a repeat scenario.
