In a style that bridges the divide between academia and activism, Street Rebellion develops a broader and more accurate understanding of how people struggle for liberation. We are living in a time of uprisings that routinely involve physical confrontation--burning vehicles, barricades, vandalism, and scuffles between protesters and authorities.

Street Rebellion scrutinizes recent research and develops a broad and grounded portrait of the relationship between strategic nonviolence and rioting in the struggle for liberation.
