Whatever happened to British protest? For a nation that brought the world Chartism, the Suffragettes, the Tolpuddle Martyrs, & so many other grassroots social movements, Britain rarely celebrates its long, great tradition of people power. In this timely & evocative collection, twenty authors have assembled to re-imagine key moments of British protest, from the Peasants Revolt of 1381 to the anti-Iraq War demo of 2003. Written in close consultation with historians, sociologists & eyewitnesses who also contribute afterwords these stories follow fictional characters caught up in real-life struggles, offering a streetlevel perspective on the noble art of resistance. In the age of fake news & post-truth politics this book fights fiction with (well researched, historically accurate) fiction.
