Publication Type: Individual Paper Abstract: “Domestic Spaces as War Zones; Philadelphia MOVE and Notions of Homeland Security” is co-authored by Kate Elliott and Lorna C. Hill. This paper will explore the nature of military boundaries that are formed around Black resistance communities, specifically the members of MOVE in Philadelphia. While giving a brief history of MOVE, its founder John Africa, and the political and social trajectory of the organization, the paper will focus on the May 13, 1985 confrontation that turned a quiet Philadelphia neighborhood into war zone. Using primary organization documents and transcribed interviews with incarcerated members of MOVE, "Domestic Spaces as War Zones" will map out MOVE’S path from a black resistance organization to national security threat. It will trace the series of civil rights infringements, police brutality and imprisonments faced by MOVE members that are present today in the policies of the United States Homeland Security Act. MOVE was treated as an enemy of the state. As such, a military boundary was formed around MOVE headquarters and common wartime tactics such as water deprivation, tear gas, fire arms and a 5 pound plastic explosive were employed. "Domestic Spaces as War Zones" will serve to create a dialogue surrounding issues of citizenship and nationhood and how these notions stimulate and shape protest movements in America. The paper will focus on the colonization of the MOVE community, the boundary erected around them and the manner in which it was policed; often with same vehemence and weaponry used to secure the United States border.
