Popular Protest in China

Explore the dynamics of social movements in China with "Popular Protest in China," published by Harvard University Press in 2008. This insightful volume spans 288 pages and delves into the historical context of unrest, from the pivotal events of 1989 to contemporary protests. The contributors present compelling arguments on how global social movement theories can illuminate the unique characteristics of popular contention in a nation where speech and assembly are heavily restricted.

This book is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of politics, society, and protest in China.
