Occupying London

Post-Crash Resistance and the Limits of Possibility

Produktbeschreibung

Based on ethnographic research with the Occupy movement in London - as a case study of one post-crash attempt to bring alternatives about - this book argues that change was ultimately foreclosed by widespread 'common sense' limitations of what was considered possible after the crash.
