Power and Protest presents chapters that analyse the dynamics of
power in social movements. Examining how marginalized groups use
their identities, resources, cultural traditions, violence and
non-violence to assert power and exert pressure, this volume shines
a light on the interaction of these groups with governments,
international organizations, businesses and universities. Including
chapters which draw from multidisciplinary theories and utilise
quantitative and qualitative research to examine how power shapes
the context and experiences of protest, the authors analyse
movements in Asia, South Africa, Arab nations, the United States
and Argentina to offer insights into the power utilised by average
citizens, and particularly members of marginalized groups. With
contributors serving up findings based on uprisings, strikes and
activist activity across the globe, the first section provides
theoretical insights into the power of protest campaigns against
governments or corporations. Moving on to an examination of
nongovernmental institutions and cultural traditions, the authors
in the second section explore the role of business and education in
bringing down illegitimate governments, investigates the clashes of
transnational norms, government policy and the heritage industry,
and examines student protests against university policies. This
volume encourages readers to reconsider their assumptions about
which groups can successfully wield power in social movements.
