From the Archives: “It’s Time to Turn the Guns the Other Way”

March 14, 2017

“It is not enough to protest Nixon’s war in the manner of the conventional white liberal.”

With so much talk about new Civil Wars, Civil Rights rollbacks, and an openly racist administration hell-bent on outdoing its most immediate historical analogue–the Nixon administration–and with so much celebration of the renaissance of protest and radicalism in the face of an increasingly authoritarian status quo, it might be worth returning to that most immediate historical analogue for insight via its voices of resistance.  This piece from The Black Scholar‘s bottomless archives reminds us of a time arguably more dangerous than ours and about commitments equally dangerous when the state wars against its own people.  Free to download and read through April 2017.

“It’s Time to Turn the Guns the Other Way” (Nathan Hare, 1970)
