This book uses empirical research to bring together a broad range of protest contexts in twelve chapters. From the formation of Maroon societies in the early colonial period, to female mobilisation in authoritarian contexts, via urban youth culture, women or mineworkers in trade unionism, as well as pro- and anti- gay rights activists, the protagonists here all insist upon their rights to protest in a variety of ways. Sometimes popular protest is expressed through religion, often (and sometimes violently) by young people, exasperated by their long wait for social achievement. Electoral wars and the formation of militias reveal a geography of violence in urban areas, which, in some sectarian excesses, can be displaced to rural areas, as described in the study on Boko Haram. Cet ouvrage regroupe un eventail comprenant douze contextes de contestation. De la formation de communautes marronnes au debut de la colonisation, aux mobilisations feminines en contexte autoritaire, en passant par les cultures urbaines, les cultures syndicales des femmes et des travailleurs dans les mines, les contestations pro ou contre la liberte des homosexuels, tous font prevaloir leur pouvoir de contestation de maniere plurielle. La voie religieuse est un domaine ou s'exerce parfois de maniere violente, les protestations de populations souvent jeunes, en attente de mobilite sociale. Les guerres electorales et la constitution de milices dessinent une geographie de la violence en milieu urbain, violence qui trouve a se deplacer en milieu rural dans certaines derives sectaires comme en temoigne l'etude sur Boko Haram.

From anti-Reagan riots in West Berlin to pictures of revolutionary Nicaragua, it is impossible to examine global social protest movements of the 1970s and 80s without addressing how these movements imagined the Americas. By examining historical representations of the United States and Latin America among Western European protesters and how these symbols were utilized by these movements, this book offers a fresh and compelling look at protest in the second half of the twentieth century. Contributions focus primarily on the anti-Euromissile peace protests and the solidarity movement with Latin America to shed light both on how European protestors built networks with the Americas and how American activists conceived of Europe and European protest. Looking east to west, north to south, this book reveals that we cannot understand the groundswell of 1980s protest movements in Europe without unraveling European representations of the Americas.".

• Chapter 1: Introduction. "From the Indignad@s to Occupy : Prospects for Comparison" (Dufour, Nez, Ancelovici)[-]The introduction of the book explains our collective positioning regarding the object of analysis (the recent emergence of protest in Europe and North America). We argue that from a comparative perspective, it is possible to consider these protests as equivalent units of analysis (they have sufficient commonalities) but not necessarily as belonging to a single or common wave or cycle. This is an empirical question addressed by individual chapters. The framework introduced here highlights both similarities at a certain level of comparison and differences in the empirical development of protests.[-]This
• chapter is divided into two main sections. We begin by surveying the growing body of literature on the 2011-12 protests. This section represents a strong contribution to the literature as it surveys more than
• 150 academic references published in the last
• 3 years. We then propose to define this new family of protests on the basis of three dimensions: a political economy, a constitutive tension with representative democracy, and specific modes of action (at least in the initial phases of the protest). Each chapter of the book addresses (with various levels of detail) these three dimensions. We also incorporate the issue of diffusion as a transversal process that cuts across cases and informs the comparisons. Finally, we briefly present the layout of the book.[-]
• PART 1: HOW STRUCTURAL FACTORS SHAPE MOBILIZATION[-]
• Chapter 2:
• Chapter 2: "The Crisis and Its Victims: Austerity and Spaces for Protest?" (George Ross)[-]The huge economic crisis that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers in
• 2008 spread rapidly throughout the global financial sector and severely damaged " real economies " everywhere. The wealthy market societies of North America and Europe were hit very hard. Crises that do such widespread damage are rare, but when they do occur they rapidly dislocate the structures of peoples' lives, create confusion and uncertainty for them, challenge identities, and cause great desperation. Mapping such disorienting changes does not allow us to predict how those experiencing them will respond, but it is safe to say that such radical disruptions cab lead some to rebel, protest, and mobilize in social movements. This chapter will review the evolution of the present economic crisis in its American "Wall Street" manifestations and its later transmogrification into the Euro-zone crisis with the goal first of outlining the socioeconomic structural effects of the crises to specify those social groups most dislocated by the crises' impacts.

• Chapter 3: "Mobilization of Protest in the Age of Austerity" (Hanspeter Kriesi)[-]Taking the mobilization of protest in the age of austerity as the point of reference, this chapter aims at linking the two worlds of social movements and political parties, with the experience of protest mobilization in three countries: Greece, Spain and the US. These three cases show that movements are linked to national political contexts. Thus, in all three countries, the target of the mobilization was the incumbent government, and this government was a centre-left one. But they were challenged for quite different reasons and the forces in opposition that benefited from the mobilization were quite different, too. However, and this is the point all three cases share, the mobilizations have had a tremendous impact on electoral politics, the party system, and the political process more generally. Electoral choices and protest, mobilization by political parties and social movements are part and parcel of one and the same process of political interest intermediation that continuously links the different forms of interes.

The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, would remain on the throne for the foreseeable future: This was the firm conclusion of a top-secret CIA analysis issued in October 1978. One hundred days later the shah - despite his massive military, fearsome security police, and superpower support - was overthrown by a popular and largely peaceful revolution. But the CIA was not alone in its myopia, as Charles Kurzman reveals in this penetrating work; Iranians themselves, except for a tiny minority, considered a revolution inconceivable until it actually occurred. Revisiting the circumstances surrounding the fall of the shah, Kurzman offers rare insight into the nature and evolution of the Iranian revolution - and into the ultimate unpredictability of protest movements in general. As one Iranian recalls, "The future was up in the air" - and through interviews and eyewitness accounts, declassified security documents and underground pamphlets, Kurzman documents the overwhelming sense of confusion that gripped pre-revolutionary Iran, and that characterises major protest movements. His book provides a striking picture of the chaotic conditions under which Iranians acted, participating in protest only when they expected others to do so too, the process approaching critical mass in unforeseen and unforeseeable ways. Only when large numbers of Iranians began to "think the unthinkable, " in the words of the U.S. ambassador, did revolutionary expectations become a self-fulfilling prophecy. A corrective to 20-20 hindsight, this book reveals shortcomings of analyses that make the Iranian revolution - or any major protest movement - seem inevitable in retrospect.

"Explores protesting as an act of faith . . . How to Read a Protest argues that the women's marches of 2017 didn't just help shape and fuel a moment--they actually created one."--Masha Gessen, The New Yorker O, the Oprah Magazine's "14 Best Political Books to Read Before the 2018 Midterm Election" "A fascinating and detailed history of American mass demonstrations."--Publishers Weekly When millions of people took to the streets for the 2017 Women's Marches, there was an unmistakable air of uprising, a sense that these marches were launching a powerful new movement to resist a dangerous presidency. But the work that protests do often can't be seen in the moment. It feels empowering to march, and record numbers of Americans have joined anti-Trump demonstrations, but when and why does marching matter? What exactly do protests do, and how do they help movements win? In this original and richly illustrated account, organizer and journalist L.A. Kauffman delves into the history of America's major demonstrations, beginning with the legendary 1963 March on Washington, to reveal the ways protests work and how their character has shifted over time. Using the signs that demonstrators carry as clues to how protests are organized, Kauffman explores the nuanced relationship between the way movements are made and the impact they have. How to Read a Protest sheds new light on the catalytic power of collective action and the decentralized, bottom-up, women-led model for organizing that has transformed what movements look like and what they can accomplish.
