About the book: 

A collective ethnography of grassroots mobilizations for
community safety across the Silicon Valley
 
This is a narrative of struggle and solidarity and a collective
toolkit for grassroots opposition to militarization, policing,
and ongoing conditions of war in the current conjuncture of
racial patriarchal capitalism. Grassroots researcher Annie
Paradise presents here a collective ethnography of the mothers
and community matriarchs whose children have been murdered by
police across the San Francisco Bay Area as they develop and
practice autonomous, creative forms of resistance.
 
The War on the Social Factory: The Struggle for Community Safety
in the Silicon Valley maps local families’ struggles to reclaim
their households and their communities—to create a social
infrastructure of care, justice, and safety outside state- and
market-determined modes of “security.” Practices such as
sustained vigil, testimony, and the production and circulation of
insurgent knowledges are shown here to be part of interconnected
justice efforts to demilitarize and decarcerate communities in
the face of the multiple forms of violence enacted under late
racial patriarchal capitalism. Paradise examines the expanding
carceral processes of enclosure, criminalization, dispossession,
expropriation, and disposability that mark the neoliberal
"security” regime across the Silicon Valley and offers
counter-counterinsurgent strategies and practices of
co-generative, dynamic resistance.
