Red Emma's
Counterinsurgency has existed as the state's implicit strategy for a generation, and increasingly this strategy is becoming explicit. In a chilling new collection of sociological and political essays released by anarchist publishing collective AK Press and co-edited by Kristian Williams, author of Our Enemies in Blue and American Methods, twenty-two writers examine the application of domestic counterinsurgency tactics within the United States, and seek to equip the left with a more nuanced understanding of state repression - and how to fight back. Join us for an important and eye-opening discussion with the Portland-based Williams.  

“Together, the writers sound a sobering warning: the American government is an iron fist in a velvet glove whose purpose remains preserving the status quo and enriching the rich.“—Publishers Weekly

Kristian Williams is the author of Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America, American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination, Confrontations: Selected Journalism, and Hurt: Notes on Torture in a Modern Democracy.
