Protest, Culture and Society

Edited by Kathrin Fahlenbrach, Martin Klimke
and Joachim Scharloth

Berghahn Books, New York/Oxford, starting in 2008. 

Protest movements have been recognized as significant contributors to
processes of political participation and transformations of culture and
value systems, as well as to the development of both a national and
transnational civil society.

This series brings together the various innovative approaches to phenomena of social change, protest and dissent which have emerged in recent years from an interdisciplinary perspective.

It contextualizes social protest and cultures of dissent in larger political
processes and socio-cultural transformations by examining the influence of
historical trajectories and the response of various segments of society,
political and legal institutions on a national and international level. In
doing so, the series offers a more comprehensive and multi-dimensional view of historical and cultural change in the 20th and 21st century.
