I knew Aoki personally and I find the following analysis to be very perceptive: http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/why-couldnt-richard-aoki-have-been-an-informant/ The author writes about Afro-Asian issues and is a professor of Asian American studies at the University of Pennsylvania. I applaud her courage to go up against some of the old guard in Asian American studies with this perspective. To put the Aoki enigma into perspective and to use it for building a stronger movement, I commend the following resources: Brian Glick, War at Home: Covert Action Against U.S. Activists and What We Can Do About It, Boston, South End Press, available online in various formats at http://archive.org/details/War_At_Home Victor Serge, What Every Radical Should Know About State Repression: A Guide for Activists, translator not identified, Ocean Press, 2005, excerpts available online at http://books.google.com/books?id=lB-9R0xaw1oC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false I hope that other subscribers will add to this list. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
