Currently dipping into new ebook Fight Back! A Reader on the Winter of Protest, a collection of writing from and about the wave of student and anti-cuts protests and occupations that took place in London in late 2010. Editor Dan Hancox has brought together an impressive selection of essays and contributors in an extremely short space of time, with writing from newspaper columnists and theorists alongside that of students and campaigners, and with publishing and editorial support from openDemocray’s UK blog, OurKingdom.
There’s a section about the aesthetics of protest, and SA readers might be particularly intrigued by the accompanying seminar that’s taking place on 2 March at UEL, The Art of Protest. Writers Hancox, Jesse Darling and Adam Harper will discuss the music and art of the movement with Steve Goodman, author of Sonic Warfare: sound, affect & the ecology of fear.
Fight Back! is downloadable here at openDemocracy, and is also available for Kindle.
