FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
South End Press Author Under Attack
CAMBRIDGE, MA: After finding himself at the center of a media
firestorm-and receiving a barrage of death threats-South End Press
author Ward Churchill has stepped down from his position as Chair of the
Ethnic Studies Department at the University of Colorado. Not satisfied
with this, Colorado Governor Bill Owens is demanding that Churchill
resign his position as a tenured professor as well.
The controversy is based on an essay Churchill wrote soon after 9-11,
which he later expanded into an AK Press book, On the Justice of
Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial
Arrogance and Criminality. Conservative protestors used the essay to
force Hamilton College in New York to cancel a speaking engagement
Churchill had scheduled there. The mainstream media (including Bill
O'Reilly and Fox News) has picked up the story, distorting and
misrepresenting the facts, as usual.
South End Press wishes to voice our support for Ward Churchill in this
struggle-in terms of both his well-researched analysis of factors that
contributed to the 9-11 attacks and his right to express that analysis
in public without having his life and livelihood threatened. We also
recommend that you read On the Justice of Roosting Chickens yourself,
rather than rely on the media's version of it. Individuals can order it
here: http://www.akpress.org/2003/items/onthejusticeofroostingchickens
