Black Agenda Radio · Confronting Counterinsurgency: Cop Cities and Democracy's Terrors

Joy James is a scholar and a political philosopher who works with organizers. She is editor of the new book Confronting Counterinsurgency: Cop Cities & Democracy’s Terrors, which is published by Pluto Press. The book “introduces and analyzes contemporary militarized policing projects like Cop City, ICE, and the School of the Americas, and links them to historical and contemporary settler colonialism and slavery.” She joins us from New York City.
