  • - Policing Baltimore in the Age of Slavery and Emancipation
    av Adam C. Malka
    600,-

    What if racialized mass incarceration is not a perversion of our criminal justice system's liberal ideals, but rather a natural conclusion? Adam C.

    "With a signature 'DARE to keep kids off drugs' slogan and iconic t-shirts, DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) was the most popular drug education program of the 1980s and 1990s. But behind the cultural phenomenon is the story of how DARE and other antidrug education programs brought the War on Drugs into schools and ensured that the velvet glove of antidrug education would be backed by the iron fist of rigorous policing and harsh sentencing. Max Felker-Kantor has assembled the first history of DARE, which began in Los Angeles in 1983 as a joint venture between the police department and the unified school district. By the mid-1990s, it was taught in 75 percent of school districts across the United States. DARE received near-universal praise from parents, educators, police officers, and politicians and left an indelible stamp on many millennial memories.

Pivoting from studies that emphasize the dominance of progressivism on American college campuses during the late sixties to early seventies, Shepherd positions conservative critiques of and agendas in American higher education as more than a passing phase in her history of campus wars in the late twentieth century. Shepherd explores the ways conservative students, enabled by wealthy CEOs and right-wing intellectuals, worked to counter liberal traditions, movements, and other dynamics in the American academy through themes of counter-messaging, appeals to authority, and punishment from 1967-1972"--

    In the United States, it is quite common to lay claim to the benefits of society by appealing to "taxpayer citizenship-the idea that, as taxpayers, we deserve access to certain social services like a public education.
