KRISTIAN WILLIAMS & JULES BOYKOFF
Friday, December 14 at 7:30 p.m.

Up from Oregon for an evening of serious, engaged, talk on political matters are author/activists Kristian Williams and Jules Boykoff. For the former, who visited last year with his book, American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination, it is a return with two new publications: Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America (South End) and the intoduction for a pamphlet, The New State Repression (Tarantula). "[A] well-researched, historically grounded, and mordant critique of American policing past and present. With criminal justice playing an ever greater role in the lives of more and more people, reading this book is necessary and useful." - Christian Parenti on Our Enemies in Blue. Pacific University professor Jules Boykoff is here with Beyond Bullets: The Suppression of Dissent in the United States (AK). "When there is every reason to believe there's a 'bad moon rising on the right,' leftists need to know how the state suppresses the rising tide of popular resentment. The strategy is multifaceted and sophisticated as Jules Boyoff explains in this timely analysis ... Read Boykoff to understand where the real danger lies and how best to defend against it." - Robin Hahnel.
