Yet little is said about the history of these “metropolitan parties,” so the reader is left wondering why there was such resistance among Communists to this work. Similarly, while Weiss seems to agree with several recent scholars that the value of the Comintern’s work among black radicals was less the gains it brought to the Communist movement and more that it helped cohere a “black international” of activists, the lack a broader examination of black radicalism makes it hard to evaluate this view. Finally, as a former copyeditor, this reviewer feels compelled to note that there are numerous proofreading and copyediting errors (e.g., the American Negro Labor Congress is repeatedly abbreviated as “ANCL”). While one could, perhaps, excuse a lack of editing in an underground Communist newspaper, it is a different matter for a book of such heft and price. None of these criticisms should obscure the value of this book. Research libraries will need to get this book. Historians and students researching Communist work among people of African descent, or the Comintern more broadly, will need to read it.","PeriodicalId":39186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Study of Radicalism","volume":"11 1","pages":"204 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45790907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because much of Rafanelli’s writing used in this book is fictional and is not constricted by time or place, Pakieser’s audience is able to consider the key concepts of religion, feminism, and anarchism in a current context, which seems to be a reasonable extension of Rafanelli’s intention when writing the pieces. In writing this biography, Andrea Pakieser not only provides an insight into a fascinating woman’s life and work, she also contributes meaningfully to current cultural debates regarding religion, feminism, and politics. For those who are not familiar with Leda Rafanelli, this biography provides an important and enjoyable introduction to and history of nontraditional views and activism, which seems to be of endless interest in today’s world. This biography is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in exploring feminism, religion, or politics through contradictory contexts, and it nevertheless advocates for the imbrication of one’s own beliefs, regardless of whether or not cultural norms support such interpretations or applications.","PeriodicalId":39186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Study of Radicalism","volume":"11 1","pages":"211 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42370990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, he offers a similar set of observations about the role that music continues to play in the self-programming of Islamic extremists, up to and including its part in acts of suicidal terrorism. It should, perhaps, be noted, however, that the chapter on Islamic radicalism suffers in comparison to the other three case studies— it is telling that it is the shortest of these chapters. This is, no doubt, a product of the problem of access. It might have been better to end rather than open with this case study, allowing the insights derived from the other three to cast critical light upon it. This is, nevertheless, a small complaint about an otherwise excellent book. Pieslak concludes with a set of reflections on the power of music to serve the interests of these different political groups, and gestures toward future study. In the final paragraph of the book, he points to the danger that lies “in assuming that music cannot be dangerous” (252). What might, in abstract, sound like the observations of an Allan Bloom or Tipper Gore gains credence from the preceding analysis. One can but hope that such future study is carried out with the care, nuance, and sagacity of this author.","PeriodicalId":39186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Study of Radicalism","volume":"11 1","pages":"206 - 209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48914857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These new ideological tendencies were characterized by a shift not only in philosophical outlook but also in language and collective practice. This time period is often associated with the founding of the deep ecology framework, authored by Arne Naess in 1973, replacing the environmental protectionism of the past, as well as notions of animal liberation, inspired by a 1975 book of the same title by Peter Singer. Just as Singer’s notion of liberation replaced previously popular notions of animal welfare or rights, the groups that formed during this time replaced previously dominant strategies of aboveground popular protest with that of self-guided, clandestine, autonomous units. These new revolutionary frameworks—serving to challenge state authority and notions of property rights—were quickly adopted by emergent groups, which began to use sabotage, vandalism, and arson. In 1963, the Hunt Saboteurs Association was formed, dedicated to physically disrupting hunting expeditions, often taking the form of sabotage and provocation. In the early 1970s, several activists decided to shift their tactical focus after working with a hunt saboteur movement. In 1972, the Band of Mercy (BOM) formed in England as the outgrowth of a desire for a new praxis that prioritized MICHAEL LOADENTHAL","PeriodicalId":39186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Study of Radicalism","volume":"11 1","pages":"1 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45099911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A predominantly African American interracial coalition of activists makes up MOVE’s constituents. As this interview demonstrates, MOVE was concerned not only with the black liberation struggle but also with animal and environmental rights, economic justice, and police brutality. MOVE centers their political and spiritual philosophy on “Life”—the force behind all living and sentient beings. In 1985, concerned with MOVE’s revolutionary activities, police bombed the communal house MOVE shared. One of the two survivors of the shooting and bombing, Ramona Africa, continues to advance the causes of the MOVE organization while also seeking freedom for the MOVE 9, members of MOVE imprisoned since 8 August 1978. In this interview, Morgan Shipley, Jack Taylor, and Ramona Africa discuss, among other things, the importance of life for MOVE’s political philosophy, the organization’s relationship with the broad counterculture of the 1960s (topics range from the Black Panther Party to the hippies), and their concern for animal and environmental justice.

Scholars from disciplines as diverse as political sociology, cultural studies, and cultural anthropology attempting to move beyond absolutist or deceptively objectivist accounts of violence focus on its status as a variable, contextually specific discursive construction pertinent to politically motivated narratives. The second approach deals with representations of political violence in various cultural forms and genres (films, theater productions, novels, etc.), raising questions regarding the fictionalization of contested histories and audience/reader responses. Viewing literature as a specific embodiment of “cultural memory,” we hold that, despite being an ideologically overdetermined form of social discourse, it also serves as a “medium for observing the production of cultural memory” regarding, in our case, leftwing disobedience in the wake of a traumatic past.

The Weatherman was made up of extremists from the national New Left group, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and was later referred to as the “Weather Underground.” The Weatherwomen, including Bernardine Dohrn, Cathy Wilkerson, and Diana Oughton, had planned to shut down the draft board office as an antiwar demonstration. They were wearing helmets, heavy gloves, and boots and were carrying Vietcong flags—a few women were even holding wooden sticks and pipes. Facing hundreds of police, they could go no farther than half a block, and a dozen women were arrested. At the park, Dohrn distinguished the Weatherwomen’s march from the actions of the feminists, saying, “We’re not picketing in front of bra factories . . .
