4.9/5 (20770 ratings)

Description:Whatever happened to British protest?For a nation that brought the world Chartism, the Suffragettes, the Tolpuddle Martyrs, and so many other grassroots social movements, Britain rarely celebrates its long, great tradition of people power. In this timely and evocative collection, twenty authors have assembled to re-imagine key moments of British protest, from the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 to the anti-Iraq War demo of 2003. Written in close consultation with historians, sociologists and eyewitnesses – who also contribute afterwords – these stories follow fictional characters caught up in real-life struggles, offering a streetlevel perspective on the noble art of resistance. In the age of fake news and post-truth politics this book fights fiction with (well researched, historically accurate) fiction.Featuring: Sara Maitland and Prof. Jane Whittle on THE PEASANT'S REVOLTHolly Pester and Dr. Steve Hindle on THE MIDLANDS RISINGMatthew Holness and Dr. John Rees and Prof. Mark Stoyle on THE DIGGERSFrank Cottrell-Boyce and Dr. Ariel Hessayon on VENNER'S RISINGAndy Hedgecock and Dr. Kartina Navickas on THE PENTRICH LUDDITESLaura Hird and Dr. Gordon Pentland on the RADICAL WARMichelle Green and Elizabeth Crawford on THE SUFFRAGETTESSandra Alland and Dr Francis Salt on the NATIONAL BLIND MARCHStuart Evers and Dr Michael Randle on the ALDERMASTON MARCHESKit de Waal and Avtar Jouhl on MALCOLM X in SMETHWICKAlexei Sayle and Rusell Hickman on the ANTI-VIETNAM WAR DEMODavid and Stephen Constantine on the ANTI-RIVERS OF BLOOD MARCHMaggie Gee and Prof Sally Alexander on the NIGHT CLEANERS' STRIIKEFrancesca Rhydderch and Ned Thomas on the WELSH LANGUAGE PROTESTSJacob Ross and Prof. Stephen Reicher on the NEW CROSS FIRE & THE BRIXTON RIOTSJoanna Quinn and Lyn Barlow on GREENHAM COMMONMartyn Bedford and Prof. David Waddington on the BATTLE OF ORGREAVEJuliet Jacques and Dr. Em Temple-Malt on SECTION 28Courttia Newland and Dr. John Drury on the POLL TAX RIOTKate Clanchy and Prof. Laleh Khalili on the ANTI-IRAQ WAR DEMOThis project has been supported by the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust and the Lipman-Miliband Trust, as well as Arts Council England.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
