A stellar cast of activists—including John Jordan, George Monbiot, Thomas Harding, and the editors of Aufheben—present a collection of in-depth and reflective pieces, on the contours of extra-parliamentary political protest and counter-culture. From Reclaim The Streets to video-activism, raving to tree-sitting, this is a road-map for those wanting something more than institutionalized unemployment and business as usual.
"If you're one of the many people who feel increasingly disenfranchised by the British political system and that New Labour is the same old, repressive, Tory/big business bullshit under a different name, then this is likely to be the most uplifting and empowering book you'll read in a long time." —Irvine Welsh
