Reviews

This impressive collection of essays draws heavily on narratives by active participants in riots and offers illuminating accounts of the transgressive, resistant actions in such events. Its scope is broad and takes in many protests and locations that are less frequently attended to in academia and, more particularly, it offers a challenge to the `northern' focus of much previous work. -- Tim Newburn, Professor of Criminology and Social Policy, London School of Economics
