In Gang Politics, Kristian Williams examines our society's understanding of social and political violence, what gets romanticised, misunderstood, or muddled. He explores the complex intersections between 'gangs' of all sorts - cops and criminals, Proud Boys and Antifa, Panthers and skinheads - arguing that government and criminality are intimately related, often sharing critical features. As society becomes more polarised and conflict more common, Williams's analysis is a crucial corrective to our usual ideas about the role violence might or should play in our social struggles.
