A global and multidisciplinary exploration of contemporary resistance. Leading researchers from around the world link theory to the realities of Occupy, Indignados, The Tea Party, The Arab Spring, Anonymous and more.
Chosen by Library Journal as one of the best reference texts of 2016.
Occupy. Indignados. The Tea Party. The Arab Spring. Anonymous. These and other terms have become part of an emerging lexicon in recent years, signalling an important development that has gripped many parts of the world: millions of people are increasingly involved, whether directly or indirectly, in movements of resistance and protestation.

The coverage is divided into six key sub-sections:
