'Fabulous and fascinating! How do we move forward in a world of catastrophes? How do we stay human when there seems to be no hope of a better world? How do we stay hoping in a world of growing inhumanity? How do we get out of here? Azumi Tamura's study of radical activism in Japan after the Fukushima nuclear disaster breaks all national frontiers and goes to the heart of the battle between hope and hopelessness that rages (really rages) in all the world. Read it.' - John Holloway

'Fabulous and fascinating! How do we move forward in a world of catastrophes? How do we stay human when there seems to be no hope of a better world?

Read it.' - John Holloway, Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla 'Azumi Tamura's book manages to bring together Japanese social movements and Deleuzian social theory in way that is revealing, insightful and provocative. Japan has been a neglected area for social movement research and this book brings to light what has been missing from the discipline. It traces currents of resistance from the late 1960s in to the upsurge of activism after the Fukushima disaster, and offers us new ways of conceiving the role of social movements in contemporary informationalised societies.' - Graeme Chesters, Associate Professor in Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Bradford
