Summary:
Depuis sa publication il y a bientôt 10 ans, La domination policière a trouvé un écho au moment des grandes séquences de luttes et des épisodes de répression. Ce livre est devenu un outil de réflexion théorique et politique sur un sujet désormais installé dans le débat public : les violences policières. Il s’agissait de le mettre à jour. Dans cette édition augmentée, Mathieu Rigouste a intégré les apports de travaux critiques en sciences sociales publiés durant la décennie 2010. Il les a articulés avec les enquêtes qu’il a pu réaliser au cours des dernières années. Rigouste tient à « traiter ces matériaux à partir de réflexions collectives développées au sein des luttes sociales. » Il a ainsi proposé à plusieurs comités « Vérité et Justice » et collectifs antirépression de recueillir leurs commentaires. Il a également agrémenté son texte original de témoignages de proches et des familles des personnes tuées par la police. Deux nouveaux chapitres qui viennent consolider cette édition : un chapitre inédit aborde les généalogies raciales, sexuelles et capitalistes de la police moderne et les articule à la structuration de la plantation esclavagiste, à la « chasse aux sorcières » et à la naissance de la grande ville bourgeoise en Europe. Un autre chapitre inédit vient clore le livre : il s’agit de proposer une synthèse sur la transformation du pouvoir policier pendant la séquence 2013-2020 mais aussi de nouvelles propositions de luttes. À l’heure où les questions de transformation et d’abolition de la police et de la prison traversent l’Atlantique, La domination policière reste le meilleur livre pour nourrir les réflexions et les mobilisations, individuelles et collectives, dans l’espace francophone.

Summary:
When Stella, a young Métis mother, looks out her window one evening and spots someone in trouble on the Break — a barren field on an isolated strip of land outside her house — she calls the police to alert them to a possible crime. In a series of shifting narratives, people who are connected, both directly and indirectly, with the victim — police, family, and friends — tell their personal stories leading up to that fateful night. Lou, a social worker, grapples with the departure of her live-in boyfriend. Cheryl, an artist, mourns the premature death of her sister Rain. Paulina, a single mother, struggles to trust her new partner. Phoenix, a homeless teenager, is released from a youth detention centre. Officer Scott, a Métis policeman, feels caught between two worlds as he patrols the city. Through their various perspectives a larger, more comprehensive story about lives of the residents in Winnipeg’s North End is exposed. A powerful intergenerational family saga, ''The Break'' showcases Vermette’s abundant writing talent and positions her as an exciting new voice in Canadian literature.

Summary:
In May 1968, thousands of workers and students took to the streets of Paris, provoking an unprecedented wave of strikes, walkouts and demonstrations. The confrontations between police and protesters led to a general strike of eleven million workers that brought the country to a virtual standstill and nearly toppled Charles de Gaulle's government. The faculty and student body of the Ecole des Beaux Arts were among the strikers, and a number of the students met spontaneously in the college's lithographic department to produce the first poster of the revolt. From this initiative was born the Atelier Populaire, a collective of print shops that produced hundreds of posters to encourage the protestors and to report on police brutality. These posters included many of the often Situationist-inspired mottos for which May '68 is remembered today, such as “Be young and shut up” and “return to normal” (accompanied by a picture of a herd of sheep). Beauty Is in the Street reproduces more than 200 of these posters in full color, which have since become landmarks in political art and graphic design.
