The questions surrounding what it means to be legally complicit are the same ones we may ask ourselves as we evaluate our own and others' responsibility for inherited and ongoing harms, such as racism, sexism, and climate change: What does it mean that someone \"knew\" they were contributing to wrongdoing? How much involvement must a person have in order to be complicit? At what point are we obligated to intervene? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Francine Banner ties together pop culture, politics, law, and social movements to provide a framework for thinking about what we know intuitively: that our society is defined by crisis, risk, and the quest to root out hazards at all costs. Engaging with legal cases, historical examples, and contemporary case studies, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Complicity\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds the complex role that complicity plays in US law and society today, offering suggestions for how to shift focus away from blame and toward positive, lasting systemic change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francine Banner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520394232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520394230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Francine Banner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199200907519,"sku":"9780520394230","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58eeffa2-4935-428a-bbb3-9ea572b35bde.jpg?v=1727925348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-complicity-francine-banner-9780520394230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
