Reviews
The recent explosion of pro-democracy and anti-austerity protests from the bottom-up have revitalized 'the political' around the globe and have done so in a period when many occupying top-down perspectives had thought that hopes for a better future had historically run into the sands of neo-liberalism, repressive states and consumerism. This latest collection by Stuart Price and Ruth Sanz Sabido intelligently dissects the conditions and contingencies of protest in the contemporary era and provides new insights into the prospects and challenges confronting new social movements for change. -- Simon Cottle, Professor of Media and Communications at the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies at Cardiff University
