Sometimes it's best to read the fine print. When former soldier Everett Cole signed on to help colony planets prepare for joining the Federation, his employers were disconcertingly vague about their identity and his duties. Yet, the pay was good and it got him off Earth and on the way to a fresh start. More reservations arose when - 11 light-years from Earth - he met his future partner, Edgar Millen, an enigmatic man with a penchant for violent solutions and a fetish for the mythology and language of the American Wild West. It wasn't until they reached the colony world of Astrild that the mission became somewhat clearer. They were players in multi-faceted efforts to steer colony worlds in preparation for joining the Federation. Unfortunately, not all obstacles were amenable to diplomatic, political, or economic solutions. Cole and Millen were agents, troubleshooters, hired guns - or whatever you wanted to call them - tasked with removing impediments to civilized law and order - the methodology left open-ended.Millen and Cole's first mission to test their partnership? The backwater town of Justice was under the control of a strongman and his henchmen. All they had to do was convince the cowed citizens to rise against their tormenter. Formal authority and backup? None. Millen was blas� at the assignment. Everett's first thought was, "What the-!"78 See a resume account provided by Iton Gadol services ( Israel ) , and Informativo DAIA , March 2004 ; also Sergio Kiernan , A Tangled Road to Justice , p . 9 . 79 Justice Nazareno quit his office early in July 2003 , and other Menem ...

The restoration of democracy in Argentina after the downfall of the military dictatorship in 1983 raised high expectations for an end to Judeophobia. The more pluralistic and democratic Argentinian society becomes, the more unacceptable traditional antisemitism is; however, it does not disappear. The number of antisemitic incidents in Argentina is less than in France and Germany, but it is still high. Extant statistics are unreliable. Ultra-right organizations have been increasingly marginalized, but antisemitism is perceptible in the army and the police. The terrorist attacks of 1992 and 1994 made antisemitism politically incorrect, but the investigation of these acts has been fraught with corruption. Notes that, remarkably, the more that Jewish institutions in the public sphere participate in demanding justice, the more they are appreciated by non-Jews as genuine Argentinian citizens, who are deeply involved in fighting for democracy.“ A Tangled Road to Justice ” is not a work of commemoration , but rather investigative reporting and an update on ...

Starting in the early 1900s, many thousands of native Filipinos were conscripted as laborers in American West Coast agricultural fields and Alaska salmon canneries. There, they found themselves confined to exploitative low-wage jobs in racially segregated workplaces as well as subjected to vigilante violence and other forms of ethnic persecution. In time, though, Filipino workers formed political organizations and affiliated with labor unions to represent their interests and to advance their struggles for class, race, and gender-based social justice. Union by Law analyzes the broader social and legal history of Filipino American workers’ rights-based struggles, culminating in the devastating landmark Supreme Court ruling, Wards Cove Packing Co. v. Atonio (1989). Organized chronologically, the book begins with the US invasion of the Philippines and the imposition of colonial rule at the dawn of the twentieth century. The narrative then follows the migration of Filipino workers to the United States, where they mobilized for many decades within and against the injustices of American racial capitalist empire that the Wards Cove majority willfully ignored in rejecting their longstanding claims. This racial innocence in turn rationalized judicial reconstruction of official civil rights law in ways that significantly increased the obstacles for all workers seeking remedies for institutionalized racism and sexism. A reclamation of a long legacy of racial capitalist domination over Filipinos and other low-wage or unpaid migrant workers, Union by Law also tells a story of noble aspirational struggles for human rights over several generations and of the many ways that law was mobilized both to enforce and to challenge race, class, and gender hierarchy at work.Success without Victory: Lost Legal Battles and the Long Road to Justice in America.

Blends academic and activist perspectives to explore recent emancipatory struggles to win and transform state power. For decades, emancipatory struggles have been deeply influenced by the slogan Change the world without taking power. Amid growing social inequalities and the return of right-wing authoritarianism, however, many now recognize the limits of disengaging from government and the state. From the Streets to the Statechronicles many diverse and exciting projects to not only take state power but to fundamentally change it. A blend of scholars and activists explore issues like the nonsectarian relationships between new radical left parties, egalitarian social movements, and labor movements in Greece, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Turkey. Contributors discuss municipal campaigns based in popular assemblies, solidarity economies, and independent political organizations fighting for racial, gender, and economic justice in cities such as Jackson, Vancouver, and Newcastle. This volume also studies the lessons learned from the Pink Tide in Latin America as well as the social movements of racialized and gendered workers transforming human rights across the United States. Finally, the book offers case studies from around the world surveying the role of state workers and public sector unions in radically democratizing public administration through coalitions between the providers and users of public services.We now know , however , that the road to simple justice led on into a tangled thicket of complexity : pupil place- ment , freedom of choice , interposition , massive resistance , seg- regated academies , affirmative action , guidelines ...
