But for many on the Left what is unfolding, exemplified by the ruling elite's cooptation of protest, is the evisceration of the radical potential of resistance, a continuation of the status quo since the aftermath of the 1960s. Resistance has been personalized and emptied of its revolutionary critique of socioeconomic domination, a consequence of neoliberalism; it has been defined as political protest and dissent rather than as the work of a life to overthrow existing institutions; and finally it has been criminalized, subsumed under the rubric of national security. Resistance has been replaced by resilience, the ability to adapt to and benefit from adversity. Given its long history of disappointments, can there be a form of resistance that works? What would it look like? Alix Olson and Alex Zamalin argue that, if resistance is to be successful in the struggle against neoliberal racial capitalism, it must take the form of what they call "unruly world-building," which already exists in movements such as BLM, Extinction Rebellion, and Standing Rock. Often leaderless or led by young people from marginalized groups, they articulate a refusal to be defined by a "politics of maturity"; they reject realism, pragmatism, compromise. They aim not to reform but to overturn the capitalist state. These movements break norms; their members think beyond personal freedom toward living collectively and in solidarity with one another and with the planet. Learning from and nourishing them are our only means of talking seriously about the future"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The end of resistance: Reformation over transformation -- Neoliberal resistance -- Democracy domesticated: Resistance as restoration -- Making suspicious citizens: Racializing and criminalizing resistance -- Unruly world-building: Toward a critical infrastructure of demanding hope. 650 0 $a Political participation $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Government, Resistance to $z United States. 650 0 $a Social movements $x Political aspects $z United States $v Case studies. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 6 $a Participation politique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0381174 $z Etats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0381174 $y 21e siecle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0381174 650 6 $a Resistance au gouvernement $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $z Etats-Unis. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 650 6 $a Mouvements sociaux $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376950 $x Aspect politique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0382521 $z Etats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $v Etudes de cas. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376950 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0112282 650 7 $a Government, Resistance to $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945663 650 7 $a Political participation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069386 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social movements $x Political aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122666 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Case studies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Zamalin, Alex, $d 1986- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Olson, Alix. $t Ends of resistance $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2023] $z 9780231555784 $w (DLC) 2023027867 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010926.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D32CBF24141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
