The Order of Attica

In: Social justice: a journal of crime, conflict and world order, Band 18, Heft Fall 91

Abstract

The negotiations between prisoners and state officials that preceded the encounter at Attica have been captured by Tom Wicker's account, A Time to Die (1975). Uses his account to analyze the forces that blocked the communication necessary for conflict negotiation. Considers social relations, hostility, violence, power and argumentation as sub-headings for the analysis. (RSM)
