Rezensionen

'Drawing on a wealth of individual-level data collected over the years, this volume examines the determinants of participation in street protests for social justice and democracy in a period of political and cultural backlash. While focused on Italy, the book offers much broader insights into the dynamics of micro-mobilization in protest activities.' - Marco Giugni, University of Geneva

'This truly insightful analysis tells us everything we might wish to know about contemporary left-wing protesters who are responding to a right-wing backlash in Italy. If you wish to gain a solid understanding of 'who are those people in the streets?' and why they protest, this book is for you.' - Clare Saunders, University of Exeter
