People & Protest in Britain and Abroad, 1800-2000

Catalogue record

Notes

In the wake of recent events ranging from the Arab Spring to the amorphous Occupy movement and civil disturbances in the UK, the idea of popular dissent is being thrust back into the academic arena for further analysis. From the emergence of Chartism to the fall of Communism, this progressive archive will bring together a wealth of empirical data which will look at the many different forms of human agency that drive social movements including national, ethnic, religious, genderic, anti-colonial as well as socio-economic factors. An emphasis shall also be placed on the establishment’s responses to these movements, where possible. To begin the new series, we have released the following two titles:
The Meerut Conspiracy Trial, 1929-1933
The selected papers of George Howell, 1833-1910

Accompanied by an introduction to the series by Dr Louise Raw, historian and author.
