دانلود کتاب Four Dead in Ohio: The Global Legacy of Youth Activism and State Repression

The nine essays in this volume reflect on global student and youth activism 50 years after the National Guard shootings of student activists demonstrating against the wars in Vietnam and Cambodia at Kent State U. in Ohio in 1970. Sociology, political science, history, peace studies, and other scholars from the US, Qatar, South Korea, and South America discuss student and youth movements, including student protests against the apartheid system in South Africa in the 1960s at Michigan State U., mediated youth engagement in online spaces, the creation of a space for youth peace builders on the NYU campus, and why student and youth movements are often portrayed as a violent, harmful, threatening, or negative; the relationship between society, youth, social movements, and state repression in Chile, Iraq, and Ukraine; and the processes of memory and commemoration of the democracy uprising in Gwangju, South Korea, and the Kent State shootings. The volume originated in a conference, "Commemorating Violent Conflict and Building Sustainable Peace," held in October 2019 at Kent State U. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.
