 Praise for ARTICULATING DISSENT

‘Articulating Dissent is a valuable re-examination of the question of 
protest, mediation and the public sphere. Ruiz explores and triangulates 
a number of divergent theoretical perspectives and social movements to 
produce an informative picture of the multiple voices and contesting 
interests that constitute today's complex and fast changing political 
spaces of 'polyvocal' dissent.’ – Joss Hands, author of @ is For 
Activism: Dissent Resistance and Rebellion in a Digital Culture

'An impressively wide-ranging and balanced book, drawing on different 
sources, perspectives and a variety of methods and cases. Up-to date and 
multidisciplinary. Highly recommended to anyone interested in 
communication, protest and social movements' - Luke Martell, Professor 
of Political Sociology at the University of Sussex

------------------------------------------------------------

Articulating Dissent analyses the new communicative strategies of 
coalition protest movements and how these impact on a mainstream media 
unaccustomed to fractured articulations of dissent.

Pollyanna Ruiz shows how coalition protest movements against austerity, 
war and globalisation build upon the communicative strategies of older 
single issue campaigns such as the anti-criminal justice bill protests 
and the women’s peace movement. She argues that such protest groups are 
dismissed in the mainstream for not articulating a ‘unified position’ 
and explores the way in which contemporary protesters stemming from 
different traditions maintain solidarity.

Articulating Dissent investigates the ways in which this diversity, so 
inherent in coalition protest, affects the movement of ideas from the 
political margins to the mainstream. In doing so this book offers an 
insightful and original analysis of the protest coalition as a 
developing political form.
