The years 2008 to 2013 saw a new generation of political protestors
take to the streets. Riots disrupted many Western cities and new
protest movements emerged, keen to address a bleak context of
economic collapse and austerity politics. In this groundbreaking
new study, Winlow, Hall, Briggs and Treadwell push past the
unworldly optimism of the liberal left to offer an illuminating
account of the enclosure and vacuity of contemporary politics.
Focusing on the English riots of 2011, the ongoing crisis in
Greece, the Indignados, 15M and Podemos in Spain, the Occupy
movement in New York and London and the English Defence League in
northern England, this book uses original empirical data to inform
a strident theoretical critique of our post-political present. It
asks: what are these protest groups fighting for, and what are the
chances of success? Written by leading criminological theorists and
researchers, this book makes a major contribution to contemporary
debates on social order, politics and cultural capitalism. It
illuminates the epochal problems we face today. Riots and Political
Protest is essential reading for academics and students engaged in
the study of political sociology, criminological theory, political
theory, sociological theory and the sociology of deviance.
