In this complex and ever-evolving moment, award-winning poet and scholar Joshua Clover provides a fresh perspective on our current situation and its historical roots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile rioting was a prominent form of protest during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it was eventually replaced by the era of the glorious strike and labor protests that characterized the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. However, in recent decades, we have witnessed a resurgence of strikes, albeit with a new twist due to the interplay of race and class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the 1970s onwards, we have seen a revival of strikes, which have evolved to address the changing dynamics of our society. These protests have ranged from early wage demands to more recent social justice campaigns pursued through occupations and blockades. Clover skillfully connects these protests to the upheavals of a sclerotic economy in a state of moral collapse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRiot. Strike. Riot is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of politics and theory, offering a deep understanding of the ongoing struggles and challenges facing our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 266g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 x 128 x 19 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781784780623                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joshua Clover","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105787703546,"sku":"9781784780623","price":7.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/e6b1b41b72c2d4ee0b87027851b326fe.jpg?v=1627874374","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/riot-strike-riot-the-new-era-of-uprisings","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
