Languages of the Unheard

Stephen D'Arcy

4.9/5 (12894 ratings)

Description:Martin Luther King once insisted that 'a riot is the language of the unheard.' Since 2011 swathes of protest, rebellion and rioting have covered the globe. A new, disenfranchised generation is fighting for its voice as once again scores of police line the streets and pop icons demand a political revolution. Challenging the reader to consider arson attacks against empty buildings, Black Bloc streetfighting tactics and industrial sabotage, amongst an array of other militant action, philosopher Steven D'Arcy asks if it is ever acceptable to use or threaten to use armed force? Drawing a clear line between justifiable and unjustifiable militancy, Languages of the Unheard shows that the crucial contrast is between democratic and undemocratic action, rather than violence and non-violence.Both a consideration of the ethics and politics of militant protest and the story of dissidents and their actions post 1968, this book argues that militancy is not a danger to democratic norms of consensus-building. Instead, it is a legitimate remedy for elite intransigence and unresponsive systems of power that ignore, or silence, the people.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
