{"product_id":"justice-ignited-brian-martin-9780742540866","title":"Justice Ignited: The Dynamics of Backfire","description":"Attacks can backfire on attackers-sometimes spectacularly. In March 1991, an observer videotaped several Los Angeles police beating Rodney King with their batons. Shown on television, the beating caused enormous damage to the reputation of the police and led to the chief's resignation. This incident and others, such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the 1965 surveillance of Ralph Nader, prove that all sorts of attacks can backfire, from torture and massacres to job dismissals and reprisals against whistle-blowers. Through numerous detailed case studies, \u003ci\u003eJustice Ignited\u003c\/i\u003e presents the first comprehensive treatment of the dynamics of backfire, as it reveals the most promising tactics for causing the backfire of unfair attacks. Understanding backfire-both promoting and inhibiting it-is vitally important for activists and everyone else who wants to be effective in the face of injustice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742540863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742540866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.32w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 137","brand":"Brian Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50546082283775,"sku":"9780742540866","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/justice-ignited-brian-martin-9780742540866","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
