Reviews

Sites of Protest is a vital contribution to understanding the politics of spectacle and protest. It looks into our past - and our present - with vigour, intelligence, and commitment. A must read. -- Toby Miller, Professor of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies at Cardiff University and Sir Walter Murdoch Professor of Cultural Policy Studies at Murdoch Universiity Questions about the creation and seizure of alternative spaces shape our understanding of protest. This timely book reflects upon such sites, and examines the way in which they emerge and challenge many aspects of the current social order. It constitutes an illuminating and highly recommended contribution to the study of sites as a 'foundational' element in the production of protest. -- Pollyanna Ruiz, Lecturer at the University of Sussex For most people, at some point in life, protest becomes a matter of necessity and even survival. This eye-opening volume takes us across sites of protest across both the physical and virtual world, reminding us of the liveness of activism and the on-going democratisation of public space. -- Mark Deuze, author of Media Work and professor, Indiana University and Leiden University
