Fight Back! A Reader on the Winter of Protest

by | 18 Feb 2011

Available now as a free e-book (see below).

The first book to be produced by an ‘editorial kettle’ – all seven of its editors are under 30 and have been kettled by the police – Fight Back! features 350 pages of reports, analysis, images, reflections and overviews on the UK’s winter of protests by 43 authors [ed: including an article originally published on Critical Legal Thinking by Rory Rowan]. It asks: Is this the start of a successful movement against fees and cuts?

From a 15-year-old UK Uncut flash-mob activist to a rebel Lib Dem peer – Fight Back! captures both the spirit and arguments of Britain’s winter revolt, bringing together the best reportage and analysis of an extraordinary political moment.

Its editor is the journalist Dan Hancox; others on the editorial team are Guy Aitchison, Laurie Penny, Siraj Datoo, Caillean Gallaghar, Aaron Peters and Paul Sagar.
