Reviews / Votes
"Each essay moves analysis beyond abstract political structures into personal factors, like emotional reactions and confusion, which affect how states and protesters engage with each other ... [the book] offers insightful analysis ... emphasizing how individual players operated in complex environments to spark social change." - Haley Clasen, Middle East Journal Summer 2018 issue (Vol 72, No 3)More details
