Portrait

Kristian Williams is the author of Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America, American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination, Confrontations: Selected Journalism, and Hurt: Notes on Torture in a Modern Democracy. He has written about counterinsurgency and political repression for Counterpunch, Clamor, In These Times, Z Magazine, International Socialist Review, Labor Notes, Social Anarchism, the Earth First! Journal, Eat the State, PDXS, Dollars and Sense, and (perhaps oddly) The Comics Journal -- as well as in the introduction to the 2007 edition of The New State Repression.

Lara Messersmith-Glavin is the founder and managing editor of the non-fiction journal Alltopia. Her own writing has appeared in Alltopia, Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, the Spoon Cafe Journal, and MaLa, the premier English-language literary and nonfiction journal of China. Her accounts of culture shock, education, the military response to a Tibetan uprising, and the Sichuan earthquake earned her the 2008 Chinalyst.com award for Best Travel Writing. Lara is on the board of directors for the Institute for Anarchist Studies, which seeks to further anarchist thought, solidarity, and practice by funding radical writers through grants, and providing opportunities for publication through Perspectives (now both online and in print form) and the Anarchist Interventions book series (produced in collaboration with AK Press).

Will Munger is a member of the Life During Wartime editorial collective and also organized the 2011 Counter Counterinsurgency Convergence.

    The Curious Case of Conor Cash
    by Conor Cash and Kevin Van Meter
    Conor Cash is one of the only "Green Scare" defendants who is not in jail and there are a number of important reasons for this beyond his innocence. Cash and Van Meter provide a chronology of the case, describe the surrounding environment, and detail the support strategy. They identify lessons for current political organizing in general and political prisoner support work in particular. 

    Repression to Resistance: How Fighting State Repression Can Make Us Stronger Layne Mullett, Sarah Small, and Luce Guillen-Givins
    This paper is an exploration of how fighting government repression and supporting political prisoners can and does open doors for us to advance and connect our movements while we support our comrades. The authors discuss how their own experience organizing around the RNC-8 case led to alliances with other people fighting repression, in particular the Puerto Rican independence movement's struggle to free their political prisoners.

    Part Five: Political Prisoners, Politicizing Prisons

    White Supremacy and the Prison Crisis: Connecting the Dots
    by Beriah Empie

    Part Six: Social Science and Social War

    Geography, Counter-insurgency and the "G-Bomb": the Case of México Indígena
    by Geoffrey Boyce and Conor Cash
    In 2005, geographers from the University of Kansas began a "collaborative mapping" project with indigenous peoples in Oaxaca, Mexico. Dubbed "Mexica Indigena", this project was presented as a means of defending traditional land claims. Instead, Mexica Indigena was the pilot for a Foreign Military Studies Office program meant to augment counterinsurgency efforts in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Colombia, and elsewhere. This paper explores the implications for military/academic collaboration, professional ethics, and the colonial legacy of geography and anthropology.

    Targeting Translation: Counterinsurgency and the Weaponization of Language
    by Vicente L. Rafael
    Rafael focuses on two prevalent tropes in the discourse of counterinsurgency: the "weaponization" and "targeting" of foreign languages. How is the counterinsurgent notion of languages as "weapons" and "targets" linked to the strategic imperative of deploying translation as a means for colonization? What are the limits and contradictions to the targeting of speech?

    Part Seven: Counter-COIN

    Countering Counterinsurgency: Strategies, Situations and Tactics
    by John Kelly
    Kelly argues that counterinsurgency doctrines preemptively define local situations in transvalued, global terms. He examines the antidemocratic roots of the "insurgency" concept, and then tracks the fall, rise, and current status of "insurgency" and "counterinsurgency" metaphors in military theory and practice. Citing examples from his own research in Thailand, Burma, and Northeast India, he outlines the stark consequences of such transvaluation.

    Counter-Recruitment as Counter-Counterinsurgency
    by Mario Hardy
    Hardy places opposition to military recruitment within a framework of broader resistance.

    Just Us: Transforming Justice by Building Communities
    by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
    Gumbs examines crime as a problem for resistance movements, both in terms of its corrosive effects on solidarity and as a source of legitimacy for the state. She then describes some of the ways social movements have addressed this problem, and the politics implicit in interventions outside of the existing justice system.

    Capture/Rupture: Insurrectionary Counter to Counterinsurgency
    by David Cunningham
    Cunningham argues that empire responds to all social conflict with methods of counterinsurgency; and he advocates countering the state with the insurrectionary potentialities that exist in our day-to-day struggles.
