This website is devoted to Dan Berger's writings and work. On the site you'll find articles I've written, information about my books, and ways to plug into a range of political work I've been involved with or support. My latest writings: "Constructing Crime, Framing Disaster: Routines of Criminalization and Crisis in Hurricane Katrina" in Punishment and Society volume 11, number 4 Coming very soon: Don't forget to check out other recent work: "Rescuing Civil Rights From Black Power: Collective Memory and Saving the State in Twenty-First Century Prosecutions of 1960s-Era Cases" in volume 3, number 1 of the Journal for the Study of Radicalism. Check it out here. "Defining Democracy: Coalition Politics and the Struggle for Media Reform" in the International Journal of Communication. Check it out here (to go straight to the pdf version) or, to see the symposium on media reform that I co-edited with Riley Snorton, go here (and scroll down). "Real Dragons: A Brief History of Political Militancy and Incarceration, 1960s-2000s," a 50-page introduction to Let Freedom Ring: A Collection of Documents from the Movements to Free U.S. Political Prisoners, edited by Matt Meyer. The article is a sweeping history of the many U.S. movements that havehad political prisoners in the past 40 years, ranging from the Black liberation movement and white anti-imperialists to Puerto Rican and Chicano independence activists, revolutionary pacifists to radical environmentalists. It is the first such widescale synthesis published that I know of, so check it out and let me know what you think. Also, I'm very happy to report that many of the contents of ONWARD , the anarchist newspaper Rob Augman and I co-edited for two and a half years starting in May 2000, are once again online (thanks to Rob). Check it out here and spread the word. |
