Contemporary protest, often presented in media forms as a dramatic
ritual played out in an iconic public space has provided a potent
symbol of the widespread economic and social discontent that is a
feature of European life under the rule of "austerity." Yet,
beneath this surface activity, which provides the headlines and
images familiar from mainstream news coverage, lies a whole array
of deeper structures, modes of behavior, and forms of human
affiliation. Contemporary Protest and the Legacy of Dissent offers
a vibrant and insightful overview of modern protest movements,
ideologies, and events. Written by academics and activists familiar
with the strategies, values, and arguments of those groups and
individuals responsible for shaping the modern landscape of
protest, it reveals the inside story of a number of campaigns and
events. It analyzes the various manifestations of dissent-on and
offline, visible and obscure, progressive and reactionary-through
the work of a number of commentators and dedicated "academic
activists," while reassessing the standard explanatory frameworks
supplied by contemporary theorists. In doing so, it offers a
coherent account of the range of academic and theoretical
approaches to the study of protest and social movements.
