Mob Rule In New Orleans: Anarchy, Governance, And Media Representation, James Ford
Mob Rule In New Orleans: Anarchy, Governance, And Media Representation, James Ford
James Ford
This article deconstructs the terms "anarchy" and "mob rule," which are used to restore legitimacy to failed hegemonic structures and to misrepresent collective governance working outside those structures. I use this argument to reinterpret Mob Rule in New Orleans by Ida B Wells, and ultimately, to contribute to a new theory of "crisis."
