Kicking the Pigeon is a series of articles written by Jamie Kalven and published by the Invisible Institute.
The series is a feat of long term, in-depth journalistic investigation. Jamie has true commitment to his craft, and demonstrates that it can be practiced through adversity and can be in service to the public good.
I first learned of Jamie’s work at a presentation he gave last fall, and was enthralled by the concepts he presented. The following articles express the concept of an Institutional practice of “Not-Knowing” that perpetuates the horrors of brutality within a society that likes to view itself as civilized. See: The Logic of Impunity and The Regime of Not-Knowing.
I dont wish to diminish the brutality Ms. Bond faced by focusing on sociological and institutional concepts, so please take a look at the whole series. Jamie’s work exhibits the finest journalistic integrity and will stand alongside the best writings human rights activists have offered.
