This lively collection presents a multi-disciplinary,
multi-perspectival commentary explaining the what, where, and how
of the riots that the austerity-hit UK experienced during the long,
hot summer of 2011. It looks beyond London and its Tottenham
district where disturbances started, to locations such as
Manchester and Birmingham. Parallels are drawn with Cairo during
the period of the Arab spring, and even with the Star Wars saga.
The book locates the riots in historical context by looking at the
previous UK riots of 1981 and 2001, looking at how news cycles and
concepts such as that of 'moral panic' have changed in the age of
social networking. It is essential reading for anyone interested in
contemporary debates in social policy, media studies, anthropology
sociology, cultural studies, and human geography. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal for Cultural
Research.
