’By showing in detail how deprived and marginalized social groups across the globe can overcome their habitual silence and give voice to their grievances, this timely collection of case studies draws our attention to aspects of contentious politics that tend to go unnoticed in the dominant approaches to social movement studies.’ Hanspeter Kriesi, European University Institute, Italy '... this edited volume shifts attention towards aspects that are overlooked in social movement studies. Its consideration of invisible forms of activism is particularly useful, for the scholarship in this field is guilty of adopting a narrow understanding of political mobilization by emphasising more visible and mediatised expressions of political resistance. As such, students and researchers in contentious politics would find it particularly refreshing.' LSE Review of Books
