Session Submission Summary

50864 - Resistance and Repression

Tue, August 12, 2:00 to 3:30pm, West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Ballroom Level/Gold, Acapulco

Description

How do communities, political parties, and insurgent movements resist colonial forms of domination? Resistance sometimes takes the form of direct confrontation with state actors. Other times, resistance requires building and maintaining alternatives to racial capitalism that provide directly for community needs. What leads to revolutionary action? What binds together communities to sustain projects? And finally, what enables some people to participant in resistance while others do not? Papers in this session answer these questions while offering historical examples and theoretical tools for understanding resistance across time, place, and state borders.
