Book Synopsis Seattle in Coalition by : Diana K. Johnson
Download or read book Seattle in Coalition written by Diana K. Johnson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1999, the World Trade Organization (WTO) prepared to hold its biennial Ministerial Conference in Seattle. The event culminated in five days of chaotic political protest that would later be known as the Battle in Seattle. The convergence represented the pinnacle of decades of organizing among workers of color in the Pacific Northwest, yet the images and memory of what happened centered around assertive black bloc protest tactics deployed by a largely white core of activists whose message and goals were painted by media coverage as disorganized and incoherent. This insightful history takes readers beyond the Battle in Seattle and offers a wider view of the organizing campaigns that marked the last half of the twentieth century. Narrating the rise of multiracial coalition building in the Pacific Northwest from the 1970s to the 1990s, Diana K. Johnson shows how activists from Seattle's Black, Indigenous, Chicano, and Asian American communities traversed racial, regional, and national boundaries to counter racism, economic inequality, and perceptions of invisibility. In a city where more than eighty-five percent of the residents were white, they linked far-flung and historically segregated neighborhoods while also crafting urban-rural, multiregional, and transnational links to other populations of color. The activists at the center of this book challenged economic and racial inequality, the globalization of capitalism, and the white dominance of Seattle itself long before the WTO protest.

Book Synopsis Seattle in Coalition by : Diana Kay Johnson

Book excerpt: This dissertation examines racial inequality and activism in Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest from 1969-1999. 1969 marked the start of a massive economic recession in Seattle. This period coincided with key economic shifts throughout the nation and the world, namely deindustrialization and the increased globalization of capitalism. I argue that activists of color countered these hardships through interracial resistance work. In response, African American men and women trade workers, Native American Red Power leaders, Asian American cannery laborers, and Mexican American farmworkers created a fulcrum of coalition building in Seattle that also reached outward- supporting decolonization movements and workers’ rights in the Global South. As a result, organizers overturned race and gender discrimination among various fields of labor, gained property ownership, and solidified a united front against government funding cuts. Thus, this dissertation focuses on working-class activists who developed sophisticated critiques of economic and racial struggles in ways that recognized growing connectivity between the US and the world. This scholarship also intervenes in research that separates political and social movements across racial lines, emphasizing a racially comparative approach to activist history and identity politics. Seattleites maintained racial pride and strove for self-determination, but also fostered interracial, working-class identities. Finally, I underscore the long-term legacies and evolutions of activist movements during the mid-twentieth century by examining the 1980s and 1990s. The location of this history is of particular importance. For many, Seattle stands as beacon of liberal and progressive politics. I explore this perception alongside the overwhelming white dominance and deep pockets of racial segregation in the city. Looking at Seattle helps complicate notions of “racial harmony” in the region while demonstrating how communities of color felt both isolated and empowered by their small demographic presence. In the Pacific Northwest, activists responded to segregation, discrimination, and political invisibility through decades of successful, coalition-based resistance. These vibrant manifestations of cross-racial unity help illuminate the nuances, complexities, and long-term evolutions of activists with a core commitment to economic and racial justice.

Book Synopsis The River That Made Seattle by : BJ Cummings
Download or read book The River That Made Seattle written by BJ Cummings and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With bountiful salmon and fertile plains, the Duwamish River has drawn people to its shores over the centuries for trading, transport, and sustenance. Chief Se’alth and his allies fished and lived in villages here and white settlers established their first settlements nearby. Industrialists later straightened the river’s natural turns and built factories on its banks, floating in raw materials and shipping out airplane parts, cement, and steel. Unfortunately, the very utility of the river has been its undoing, as decades of dumping led to the river being declared a Superfund cleanup site. Using previously unpublished accounts by Indigenous people and settlers, BJ Cummings’s compelling narrative restores the Duwamish River to its central place in Seattle and Pacific Northwest history. Writing from the perspective of environmental justice—and herself a key figure in river restoration efforts—Cummings vividly portrays the people and conflicts that shaped the region’s culture and natural environment. She conducted research with members of the Duwamish Tribe, with whom she has long worked as an advocate. Cummings shares the river’s story as a call for action in aligning decisions about the river and its future with values of collaboration, respect, and justice.
