Items related to Springtime: The New Student Rebellions
Synopsis
In the autumn and winter of 2010, a wave of student protests surged across the UK in response to the coalition government s savage cuts in higher education cuts that represented an ideologically motivated attack on the nature of education itself. Students from universities and schools organized occupations, sit-ins and demonstrations, and the protests spread with remarkable speed. These incidents became part of a growing international movement that spans much of the Western world and is not reaching into North Africa. It is an upwelling of resistance that is the latest expression of the social and political turbulence boiling in the heartlands of capital since the Wall Street crash of 2008. From the US to Europe, students have been in the vanguard of protest against their governments harsh austerity measures. Tracing these worldwide protests, this new book explores how the resistance spread, as well as how it was organized through the use of social networking media such as Facebook and Twitter. Through eyewitness reports it documents events of the ground, the demonstrations, and the police tactics: kettling, cavalry charges and violent assault. From Athens to Rome, San Francisco to London and, most recently, Tunis and Cairo, students have risen up to demand a new dispensation for the peoples of the world. A compendium of voices from the frontline, Springtime will become an essential point of reference as the struggle continues.

Paperback. Condition: New. The autumn and winter of 2010 saw an unprecedented wave of student protests across the UK, in response to the coalition government's savage cuts in state funding for higher education, cuts which formed the basis for an ideological attack on the nature of education itself.

Rather than a series of isolated incidents, they formed part of a growing movement that spans much of the Western world and is now spreading into North Africa. Ever since the Wall Street crash of 2008 there has been increasing social and political turbulence in the heartlands of capital.From the US to Europe, students have been in the vanguard of protest against their governments' harsh austerity measures. Tracing these worldwide protests, this new book explores how the protests spread and how they were organized, through the unprecedented use of social networking media such as Facebook and Twitter.
