Protest, Scale, and Publicity: The FBI and the H Rap Brown Act

Abstract: This paper deals with issues of political dissent and the geography of state power through the lens of a particular law and its deployment by the US state in the context of the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota by American Indian Movement activists and local residents. I explore how the state responded to the highly mediated nature of the Wounded Knee occupation through tactics that minimized the visibility of its efforts to contain the protest. These efforts, I argue, also constituted a broader po… Show more

“…Another literature relevant to this paper deals with issues of scale in the context of counter‐hegemony and resistance (see for example Boyer 2006; Brenner 2000, 2001; Cox 1998a; 1998b; Crump and Merrett 1998; D’Arcus 2003; Jonas 2006; Marston 2000; Marston, Jones and Woodward 2005; Smith 1992; Swyngedouw 1996; 2000; 2004; Swyngedouw and Heynen 2003). The concept of scale, within contemporary human geography, facilitates the investigation of the discursively evolving role of space as container and contained (Chatterjee 2002), arena, level and hierarchy of socio‐spatial practices within contemporary capitalism.…”

“…Scalar practices and rescaling, however, are not confined to counter‐hegemonic strategies. States work to contain dissent—ideologically as well as geographically, or in terms of scale (D’Arcus 2003). States often try to crush dissent by restricting the geographical mobility of protesters, and by restricting access of protestors to media when they try to get their message across to a larger audience to up‐scale their concerns.…”

“…Much of this research, including Mitchell's, has focused on how deployments of law-particularly city ordinances-have played a central role in these struggles. Scholars have explored, for instance, the ways in which local ordinances and/or the policing of public space have been used to constrain the behavior (and therefore presence) of homeless individuals (Smith, 1992(Smith, , 1996Mitchell, 1995Mitchell, , 1998aMitchell, , 1998bMitchell, , 2003Amster, 2002), panhandlers (Ellickson, 1996), youth (Valentine, 1996(Valentine, , 2004Collins and Kearns, 2001;Stratford, 2002), protesters (Staeheli and Thompson, 1997;D'Arcus, 2003D'Arcus, , 2004Mitchell, 2004;Mitchell and Staeheli, 2005), labor organizers (Mitchell, 2002), and immigrant day laborers (Esbenshade, 2000).…”

“…A great deal of urban research has addressed the relationship between exclusion, location and politics in public space through the optic of resistance (see D’Arcus, 2003). Resistance is seen as constitutive of ‘unfolding relations of authority, meaning and identity’, while it also is the means through which people ‘occupy, deploy and create alternative spatialities from those defined through oppression and exploitation’ (Pile, 1997: 3).…”
