Every day around the world there are dozens of protests both large and small. Most groups engage the local police, some get media attention, and a few are successful. Who are these people? What do they want? What do they do to get it? What effects do they ultimately have on our world?In this lively and compelling book, James Jasper, an international expert on the cultural and emotional dimensions of social movements, shows that we cannot answer these questions until we bring culture squarely into the frame. Drawing on a broad range of examples, from the Women's Movement to Occupy and the Arab Spring, Jasper makes clear that we need to appreciate fully the protestors' points of view - in other words their cultural meanings and feelings - as well as the meanings held by other strategic players, such as the police, media, politicians, and intellectuals. In fact, we can't understand our world at all without grasping the profound impact of protest.Protest: A Cultural Introduction to Social Movements is an invaluable and insightful contribution to understanding social movements for beginners and experts alike.

A powerful account of how cultural anxieties about race shaped American notions of mental illness The civil rights era is largely remembered as a time of sit-ins, boycotts, and riots. But a very different civil rights history evolved at the Ionia State Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Ionia, Michigan. In The Protest Psychosis, psychiatrist and cultural critic Jonathan Metzl tells the shocking story of how schizophrenia became the diagnostic term overwhelmingly applied to African American protesters at Ionia—for political reasons as well as clinical ones. Expertly sifting through a vast array of cultural documents, Metzl shows how associations between schizophrenia and blackness emerged during the tumultuous decades of the 1960s and 1970s—and he provides a cautionary tale of how anxieties about race continue to impact doctor-patient interactions in our seemingly postracial America.

Helps us to better understand the dangers of U.S. nuclear strategy, and reminds us that it is a strategy we can resist.

Hans-J rgen Puhle hat seit langem als Historiker und Politikwissenschaftler vor allem zwei grosse Themenkomplexe im Vergleich bearbeitet: die unterschiedlichen Entwicklungswege einzelner Gesellschaften und Staaten in die Moderne seit dem ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert, und Entwicklung und Wandel organisierter Politik und politischer Öffentlichkeit in den Prozessen der Durchsetzung von Interventionsstaatlichkeit und Massendemokratie, insbesondere zwischen dem qualitativen Sprung der Modernisierung und Ausweitung politischer Organisation am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts und einer ähnlich einschneidenden Zäsur hundert Jahre später im Zeichen von Informationstechnologie, vermehrter Fragmentierung und transnationaler und globaler Vernetzung und Entgrenzung. Die in diesem Band versammelten Aufsätze aus vier Jahrzehnten ber gesellschaftliche und politische Entwicklungen in Deutschland, West- und S deuropa, Nordamerika und Lateinamerika beleuchten exemplarisch u.a. Entwicklung und Wandel politischer Akteure (Protestbewegungen, Parteien, Verbände), Prozesse und Systeme, Probleme von Regimewechsel, Demokratisierung und Demokratiedefekten, die Stufen entwicklungs- und reformpolitischer Strategien, Mechanismen von Nationalismus und Populismus, Transformationstendenzen repräsentativer Demokratien sowie zentrale Charakteristika der unterschiedlichen Entwicklungswege der behandelten Gesellschaften.

This book is a wide-ranging survey of the rise of mass movements for democracy and workers’ rights in northern England from 1789 to 1848. It is a provocative narrative of the closing down of public space and dispossession from place. It offers historical parallels for contemporary debates about protests in public space and democracy and anti-globalisation movements. In response to fears of revolution from 1789 to 1848, the British government and local authorities prohibited mass working-class political meetings and societies. Protesters faced the privatisation of public space. The ‘Peterloo Massacre’ of 1819 marked a turning point. Radicals, trade unions and the Chartists fought back by challenging their exclusion from public spaces, creating their own sites and eventually constructing their own buildings or emigrating to America. New evidence of protest in rural areas of northern England, including rural Luddism, is also uncovered.

From Protest to Challenge is a multi-volume chronicle of the struggle to achieve democracy and end racial discrimination in South Africa. Beginning in 1882 during the heyday of European imperialism, these volumes document the history of race conflict, protest, and political mobilization by South Africa’s black majority. Volume 6 takes up the story in 1980 and examines the crucial decade that preceded the collapse of the apartheid system. As with earlier volumes in the series, it combines narrative with a wealth of primary source materials that record the words of the men and women who shaped South Africa’s complex history.

Martin Parr's collection of photobooks is one of the finest to have ever been assembled and THE PROTEST BOX is a box set which brings together five books from that collection as facsimile reprints. Parr has selected diverse books which each deal with the subject of protest in quite different ways. From the documentation of various protest movements to the actual book being a form of protest, all these reprints are gems within the history of photographic publishing. A few are known but many are new, even to the connoisseur of photography books. All these books are virtually impossible to locate, so these reprints will make a substantial contribution to our understanding of this sub-genre of the photobook. The box set is accompanied by a booklet which includes an introduction by Martin Parr, an essay discussing the wider context of these books by Gerry Badger, and English translations of all the texts in the books.Five books in a box with a booklet, including essays by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, and English translations of all texts from the original books Enrique Bostelmann: América: un Viaje a traves de la injustica176 pages, 11.2 x 7.9 in. / 28 x 20 cm, tritone, hardcoverPaolo Gasparini: Para verte major, América Latina180 pages, 9.7 x 8.7 in. / 24.5 x 22.2 cm, tritone, softcoverDirk Alveramnn: Algeria224 pages, 4.3 x 7.1 in. / 10.8 x 18 cm, tritone, hardcoverKitai Kazuo: Sanrizuka184 pages, 7.1 x 9.6 in. / 18 x 24.3 cm, tritone, softcoverPaolo Mattioli and Anna Candiani: Immagini del No124 pages, 3 x 3.9 in. / 7.5 x 9.8 cm, tritone, softcoverLimited edition of 1,000 boxed sets 5 volumes

Social movements play a vital and increasingly visible role in modern politics.  Headline-grabbing demonstrations against authoritarian governments, police brutality, economic inequality, and other grievances suggest that, around the world, social movements are seen as powerful catalysts of change. In democracies as well as autocracies, rich countries as well as poor, citizens turn repeatedly to protest as a way of addressing a range of perceived social ills. In this engaging and accessible book, Devashree Gupta offers a thorough introduction to the study of social movements in these diverse settings, examining their structures and operations to identify the ways in which political and social contexts shape how movements behave and what impacts they have.  Drawing on multiple theoretical approaches and contemporary case studies, Gupta explores how movements think and act strategically, learning from past interactions with authorities and the experiences of other movements, to find innovative ways to challenge the status quo.  With suggestions for further reading and questions for class discussion throughout, Protest Politics Today will be essential reading for students of social movements and contentious politics across the world.

The Russian protests, sparked by the 2011 Duma election, have been widely portrayed as a colourful but inconsequential middle-class rebellion, confined to Moscow and organized by an unpopular opposition. In this sweeping new account of the protests, Mischa Gabowitsch challenges these journalistic clichés, showing that they stem from wishful thinking and media bias rather than from accurate empirical analysis. Drawing on a rich body of material, he analyses the biggest wave of demonstrations since the end of the Soviet Union, situating them in the context of protest and social movements across Russia as a whole. He also explores the legacy of the protests in the new era after Ukraines much larger Maidan protests, the crises in Crimea and the Donbass, and Putins ultra-conservative turn. As the first full-length study of the Russian protests, this book will be of great value to students and scholars of Russia and to anyone interested in contemporary social movements and political protest.
