The Wind Blew Towards Terrorism. An Analysis of the Weathermen Statement with the ‘Staircase to Terrorism’
Author: Moritz Schulze
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3389029559
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 2,0, University of Bamberg, language: English, abstract: This term research paper will take a step back and take a closer look at an organization known as the “Weather Underground”, which was involved in a number of bombings and other domestic attacks during the end of the 1960s and the 1970s. Beginning with an introduction and an overview of the “Weather Underground Organization” (WOU) that will focus on its origins, formation, actions and dissolution, this paper will analyze the WUO by using a model that contextualizes radicalization as a process and is known as the “Staircase to Terrorism”. The six floors, of which the model consists of, will further be individually substantiated by passages of the “Weathermen Statement”8, the first publication of the Weather Underground, and exemplary actions that the organization planned from 1969 until its dissolution in 1977. The conclusion and the concluding statement at the end of the paper will reason for the suitability of the “Staircase to Terrorism” as well as its limitations and will further point out potential approaches for continuing research.

With the Weathermen
Author: Susan Stern
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Drugs. Sex. Revolutionary violence. From its first pages, Susan Stern's memoir With the Weathermen provides a candid, first-hand look at the radical politics and the social and cultural environment of the New Left during the late 1960s. The Weathermen--a U.S.-based, revolutionary splinter group of Students for a Democratic Society--advocated the overthrow of the government and capitalism, and toward that end, carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots throughout the United States. In With the Weathermen Stern traces her involvement with this group, and her transformation from a shy, married graduate student into a go-go dancing, street-fighting "macho mama." In vivid and emotional language, she describes the attractions and difficulties of joining a collective radical group and in maintaining a position within it. Stern's memoir offers a rich description of the raw and rough social dynamics of this community, from its strict demands to "smash monogamy," to its sometimes enforced orgies, and to the demeaning character assassination that was led by the group's top members. She provides a distinctly personal and female perspective on the destructive social functionality and frequently contradictory attitudes toward gender roles and women's rights within the New Left. Laura Browder's masterful introduction situates Stern's memoir in its historical context, examines the circumstances of its writing and publication, and describes the book's somewhat controversial reception by the public and critics alike.

Flying Close to the Sun
Author: Cathy Wilkerson
Publisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 1609800702
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
Flying Close to the Sun is the stunning memoir of a white middle-class girl from Connecticut who became a member of the Weather Underground, one of the most notorious groups of the 1960s. Cathy Wilkerson, who famously escaped the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, here wrestles with the legacy of the movement, at times finding contradictions that many others have avoided: the absence of women’s voices then, and in the retelling; the incompetence and the egos; the hundreds of bombs detonated in protest which caused little loss of life but which were also ineffective in fomenting revolution. In searching for new paradigms for change, Wilkerson asserts with brave humanity and confessional honesty an assessment of her past—of those heady, iconic times—and somehow finds hope and faith in a world that at times seems to offer neither.
