Baltimore. Ferguson. Tottenham. Clichy-sous-Bois. Oakland. Ours has
become an "age of riots" as the struggle of people versus state and
capital has taken to the streets. Award-winning poet and scholar
Joshua Clover offers a new understanding of this present moment and
its history. Rioting was the central form of protest in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, yet it was supplanted by age
of the glorious strike and labour protests of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. From, from the seventies on, we're seen a
return of the strike - now changed along with the coordinates of
race and class. From early wage demands to recent social justice
campaigns pursued through occupations and blockades, Clover
connects these protests to the upheavals of a sclerotic economy in
a state of moral collapse. Riot.Strike.Riot is a tour de force of
political and theoretical analysis.
