Introduction: Militancy as a Civic Virtue
From: Languages of the Unheard
$1.10
Riots, as outbursts of rebellion, might sometimes be defensible, even admirable, because they make it impossible to ignore the grievances of the exploited and the oppressed. The author presents a normative standard by which it can be shown when and on what basis militancy is a support, not a danger, to democratic norms.
