Whatever happened to British protest? For a nation that brought the
world Chartism, the Suffragettes, the Tolpuddle Martyrs, and so
many other grassroots social movements, Britain rarely celebrates
its long, great tradition of people power. In this timely and
evocative collection, twenty authors have assembled to re-imagine
key moments of British protest, from the Peasants' Revolt of 1381
to the anti-Iraq War demo of 2003. Written in close consultation
with historians, sociologists and eyewitnesses - who also
contribute afterwords - these stories follow fictional characters
caught up in real-life struggles, offering a streetlevel
perspective on the noble art of resistance. In the age of fake news
and post-truth politics this book fights fiction with (well
researched, historically accurate) fiction.
