Spanning a hundred years of British history, from 1903, with the formation of the militant Suffragette group, this book traces a thread through anti-fascist resistance during World War II to Greenham Common and the Miner's Strikes, to struggles for LGBTQ+ rights, racial equality and disability rights, and on to protests against the War in Iraq in 2003. 'Resistance' contains firsthand accounts from individuals and photographers who witnessed these major historical moments, as well as expert analysis of where these stories lead us. This is a thrilling account of the twentieth-century through the medium of protest, exploring the hopes and ideas driving individuals to protest, the personal sacrifices involved and the empowering impact of collective action today.
