Spycops

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is an essential resource for understanding one of the most significant policing scandals in recent history and the broader implications for justice and human rights. This timely book unmasks the extent to which the police are, in every political context, the state police." Erasmus Research "The undercover policing of left-wing activists was unjustified and anti-democratic. Raphael Schlembach meticulously documents the victims' fight for answers and accountability. In revealing police strategies to conceal and obstruct, his book is an indispensable part of this fight." Jenny Jones, Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb "In this excellent, vital work, Schlembach shows that, despite strenuous state efforts to keep its murkiest secrets hidden, activists can make public inquiries an important 'site of struggle' and resistance." Mark McGovern, Edge Hill University





"Schlembach goes beyond the profound harms at the core of the spy cops political policing scandal to analyze the contradictions contained within the 'black box' process of public inquiries; challenging both academics and political activists to critically assess our relationships to them." Alex Vitale, Brooklyn College
