The origins of the concept of leaderless resistance in the US are examined. Rather than assert that such strategies emerged during the 1980s, it is contended that this terrorist method developed in conjunction with the National Socialist Liberation Front's (NSLF) emergence during the early 1970s, assessing the role of NSLF leader Joseph Tommasi in the formation of leaderless resistance. However, Ku Klux Klan member Louis R. Beam's (1992) writing on leaderless resistance provided a comprehensive definition of the concept. The subsequent adoption of leaderless resistance by the Odinist movement is discussed. The question of whether Timothy McVeigh's terrorist act in Oklahoma City constitutes an example of leaderless resistance or a call for mass mobilization is also pondered. J. W. Parker

Reproduces the mission statements of the US-based organizations Critical Resistance & its offshoot, Women of Color against Violence, both movements formed 1998-2000 to combat violence against women & people of color. It is argued that women of color suffer disproportionately from both state & interpersonal violence, but have been marginalized from more mainstream antiviolence movements organized by feminists or minority males. Problems with the focus of such movements on the criminal justice system & law enforcement are identified. The negative impacts of the increased criminalization of women of color, including sex workers, lesbians, & the poor & disabled, are addressed, & a call is made for greater activist efforts to improve police accountability & decrease the use of imprisonment for such disadvantaged women. Specific strategies that social justice movements must take to end violence against women & children are suggested. Signatories to these statements, including both individuals & organizations, are listed. 29 References. K. Hyatt Stewart
