Williams1 Abstract Racial justice social movements often fragment when their goals do not seem completely achievable. Former participants in the radical Black freedom struggles of the 1960s and 1970s, most of whom were Black Panther Party (BPP) members (and also participants in the Black Liberation Army) and identified with Marxist-Leninism, became disaffected with the hierarchical character of the Black Panthers and came to identify with anarchism. Through the lens of radical factionalization theories, Black anarchism is seen as a radical outgrowth of the Black freedom struggle. Black anarchists were the first to notably prioritize a race analysis in American anarchism. This tendency has a number of contemporary manifestations for anarchism, including Anarchist People of Color caucuses within the movement, and, more indirectly, the many anarchist strategies and organizations that share similarities with the BPP, prior to its centralization. Keywords Black Panthers, anarchism, Anarchist People of Color, Black anarchism, radical factionalization 1California State University, Chico, USA Corresponding Author: Dana M.

I focus on some of these activists who converged upon anarchist positions, only to discover that American anarchism was a largely White movement.

  • Amnesty International, Human Rights & U.S. Policy
    AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, HUMAN RIGHTS & U.S. POLICY Maria Baldwin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: Gary R. Hess, Advisor Franklin W. Goza Graduate Faculty Representative Robert Buffington Douglas Forsyth ii ABSTRACT Gary R. Hess, Advisor This dissertation assesses Amnesty International’s ability to influence U.S. foreign policy through an examination of its human rights campaigns in three different nations—Guatemala, the United States and the People’s Republic of China. While these nations are quite different from one another, according to Amnesty International they share an important characteristic; each nation has violated their citizens’ human rights. Sometimes the human rights violations, which provoked Amnesty International’s involvement occurred on a large scale; such as the “disappearances” connected with Guatemala’s long civil war or the imprisonment of political dissidents in the PRC. Other times the human rights violations that spurred Amnesty International’s involvement occurred on a smaller-scale but still undermined the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; such as the United States use of capital punishment. During the Guatemalan and Chinese campaigns Amnesty International attempted to influence the United States relations with these countries by pressuring U.S. policymakers to construct foreign policies that reflected a grave concern for institutionalized human rights abuse and demanded its end. Similarly during its campaign against the United States use of the death penalty Amnesty International attempted to make it a foreign policy liability for the United States. How effective Amnesty International has been in achieving these goals is the subject of this dissertation.

    34923_hlc 49-2 Sheet No. 123 Side A 06/09/2014 15:03:23 \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\49-2\HLC204.txt unknown Seq: 1 9-JUN-14 13:37 “The Dignity and Justice That Is Due to Us by Right of Our Birth”: Violence and Rights in the 1971 Attica Riot Andrew B. Mamo* INTRODUCTION The hands on the clock stopped at 9:43 a.m. on September 13, 1971, when the electricity went out at the Attica Correctional Facility (“Attica”) in New York. State troopers were positioned on the rooftops of the prison’s A- Block and C-Block. A helicopter flew over the D-Yard, releasing gas on the gathered inmates and the hostages they held. The inmates hoped that the hostages’ lives would ensure their own, but this was not to be. As the in- mates dropped to the ground with the hostages, the riflemen fired.1 Attica was the scene of one of the most notorious prison riots in Ameri- can history, in which thirty-nine people (twenty-nine inmates and ten hos- tages) were killed when Governor Nelson Rockefeller ordered the state police to retake the institution (four others — one guard and three inmates — had died during the uprising).2 The bloody conflict has rightfully at- tracted attention. But the overt violence of the uprising and the retaking have diverted attention from a complex set of arguments made by prisoners regarding the everyday violence within the prison, situated within (and against) a framework of rights. The events at Attica did not occur within a vacuum.
