Description

Baltimore. Ferguson. Tottenham. Clichy-sous-Bois. Oakland. Ours has become an "age of riots" as the struggle of people versus state and capital has taken to the streets.

Award-winning poet and scholar Joshua Clover offers a new understanding of this present moment and its history.

Rioting was the central form of protest in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, yet it was supplanted by age of the glorious strike and labour protests of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

From, from the seventies on, we're seen a return of the strike - now changed along with the coordinates of race and class. From early wage demands to recent social justice campaigns pursued through occupations and blockades, Clover connects these protests to the upheavals of a sclerotic economy in a state of moral collapse.

Riot.Strike.Riot is a tour de force of political and theoretical analysis.
