A propos de cet article

Hardcover, xiii + 223 pages, NOT ex-library. Good clean condition with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Faint marks on the outer page edges. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This is a seminal sociological and political study of the "radical" turn in UK green activism during the 1990s. It provides an academic autopsy of the movements that moved beyond traditional lobbying to physically block infrastructure projects. The volume analyzes the rise of non-violent direct action (NVDA), focusing on the wave of anti-road protests and "reclaim the streets" events that defined the decade. Protest Case Studies: It covers iconic conflicts such as Twyford Down, the M11 link road, and the Newbury Bypass, where activists lived in treehouses and tunnels to stall construction. Ideological Shifts: The authors explore the transition from "conservationism" to "ecocentrism," where the focus shifted toward social justice, anti-capitalism, and anarchist principles. The Activist Identity: The book examines the "counter-culture" of the protesters, looking at their lifestyle choices, their distrust of mainstream political parties, and how they used the media to gain public sympathy. Impact on Policy: It assesses whether these "militant" tactics actually changed UK government policy (such as the scaling back of the national roads programme) or simply changed the way the police and state manage dissent]. This text is considered a foundational resource for students of Social Movement Theory and Political Sociology. It is highly cited for its early academic validation of "DIY Culture" in Britain. Reviewers in Environmental Politics and The British Journal of Sociology praised it for providing a "balanced and rigorous" account of a movement often dismissed by the tabloid press as merely "hippy". Legacy: It is relevant today as a historical precursor to contemporary movements like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, providing the theoretical framework used to understand why activists choose disruption over dialogue. The editors are heavyweight academics: Brian Doherty is a leading expert on environmentalism at Keele University, and Matthew Paterson is a Professor of International Politics at the University of Manchester.…
