The rise and radicalization of a new generation of American protest.
Journalist Sarah Jaffe explores recent uprisings around America and across the American political spectrum - from the ways both Tea Party and Black Lives Matter protestors are responding to failures of the nation's political class and economic institutions, to the newfound power and popularity of public disruption - and explains how the today's diverse social movements are evolving tactics and goals beyond electoral politics, and toward challenging the structures of power and capital.
Sarah's first book, Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt, is available now from Nation Books.
