"A former police officer tells the story of how his eyes were opened to the hard truth that dehumanization, systemic racism, and brutality are endemic to the policing culture of the U.S. He then offers a hopeful new model not based in dominance and control with concrete suggestions for procedural justice and community policing"--

The volume challenges dominant narratives of progress with a rich range of investigations of local struggles from the Global south which are based on original ethnographic research. The chapters take a point of departure in ideas and concepts developed by the pioneering anthropologist Eric R. Wolf in 'Europe and the People Without History', and emphasize the relevance and usefulness of applying Wolf to contemporary contexts. As such, the collection contributes to knowledge of dynamic relationships between local agency in the Global south, and broader political and economic processes that make 'people without history.' This shows global power as both excluding local groups at the same time as conditioning local struggles and the forms that social organization takes. Contributors are: Paul Stacey, Joshua Steckley, Nixon Boumba, Marylynn Steckley, Ismael Garcia Colon, Inge-Merete Hougaard, Gustavo S. Azenha, Ioannis Kyriakakis, Raquel Rodrigues Machaqueiro, Tirza van Bruggen, and Masami Tsujita

"Et si l'extrême-droite était en chacun de nous? Déjà-là? Informant nombre de nos goûts et de nos dégoûts? Telle est l'hypothèse que fait Michel Latour, de gauche depuis toujours. Par sa lucidité sur ses propres troubles et par sa franchise sur ses doutes concernant le monde nouveau qui s'annonce, il nous tend un miroir. Et invite à ne pas s'en tenir à l'indignation morale. En pointant nos démissions, il dessine la possibilité d'un autre engagement politique. Pour déjouer ce qui s'annonce: une prochaine et inévitable étrange défaite. Dans cette autobiographie suivie de son journal de campagne, Michel Latour décrit une double attraction: celle qu'il éprouve par ses interrogations sur le monde tel qu'il est; celle qui s'exerce sur lui du fait d'une nouvelle gauche qui repousse à l'extrême-droite tout ce qui ne lui correspond pas, alors même qu'elle tourne le dos à ses principes fondateurs. Avec humour et ironie, il offre le récit de nos ambiguïtés individuelles et collectives."--Page 4 of cover
