The Rebecca Riots took place in Wales in the 1830s and 1840s. While these events are often described as a protest against heavy road tolls, that was only a small part of the story.  Research: Age of Revolution. “Rebecca and her daughters.” https://ageofrevolution.org/200-object/rebecca-and-her-daughters/ Age of Revolution. “Tollhouse designed by Thomas Telford.” https://ageofrevolution.org/200-object/tollhouse-designed-by-thomas-telford/ Britannica, The Editors of Encyclopaedia.

Many have concluded that the climate emergency will only be addressed by mass collective action. But given the small size of the U.S. left, who would populate such a movement? Scholar and participant-activist Kai Bosworth draws lessons from the struggles against the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines in the Upper Midwest, which brought together a broad coalition of opponents, ranging from anti-capitalist to landowners. He discusses the populist side of that movement — its openings and limitations, including xenophobia and nationalism. Resources: Kai Bosworth, Pipeline Populism: Grassroots Environmentalism in the Twenty-First Century University of Minnesota Press, 2022 The post Popular Protest Against Oil Pipelines appeared first on KPFA.

O crescimento dos protestos populares em vários países.  Livro recomendado: Marcher, une philosophie, de Frédéric Gros _______________ África é um continente gigante, com 54 países, étnica e culturalmente diverso e com um enorme potencial ainda por desenvolver. Mas é também vítima de uma História… complicada (para usar um eufemismo), com séculos de exploração europeia, primeiro, e colonialismo, depois.  O pós II Guerra Mundial trouxe uma nova esperança ao continente, com 30 países a tornarem-se independentes entre 1945 e 1960.  As promessas de democracia e liberdade saíram, porém, esfumadas, com muitos países a acabarem dominados por regimes autoritários. No final dos anos 1980, começou uma nova era de optimismo, com a chamada “3ª onda de democratização mundial” (cujo início se convencionou ser o nosso 25 de abril) a ganhar em África um ímpeto especialmente grande, combinando uma conjuntura internacional favorável (com a queda da URSS) com importantes protestos políticos a nível doméstico. Neste período, diversos países conseguiram iniciar processos de liberalização política para sistemas mais democráticos. No entanto, desde então, a verdade é que tem havido poucos ou nenhuns progressos ao nível da democracia em África (sobretudo se excluirmos a Primavera Árabe, no caso dos países acima do Sahara, cujo sucesso, de resto, acabou por ser reduzido). Hoje, menos de 10 de entre os 54 países que compõem o continente, são considerados democracias “liberais”. Se excluirmos países-ilhas, falamos essencialmente do Gana e dos três países mais a sul: África do Sul, Botswana e Namíbia. Ao olhar para o estado da democracia em África há, por isso, várias perguntas a que é preciso responder.  O que correu mal no processo de independência, em particular naqueles países que tinham, na altura, líderes independentistas tão promissores?  No sentido inverso, o que permitiu os avanços da democracia nos anos 1990? E o que explica os parcos progressos desde então?  Por outro lado, que factores comuns podemos identificar num continente tão grande e tão diverso?  E, finalmente, o que podemos esperar no futuro da democracia no continente nas próximas décadas?  Para responder a estas questões, dificilmente poderia pedir melhor pessoa do que a convidada deste episódio. Foi uma conversa muito elucidativa, sobre uma realidade muito complexa e à qual não damos, porventura, a devida atenção.  _______________ Obrigado aos mecenas do podcast: Julie Piccini, Ana Raquel Guimarães Galaró family, José Luís Malaquias, Francisco Hermenegildo, Nuno Costa, Abílio Silva, Salvador Cunha, Bruno Heleno, António llms, Helena Monteiro, BFDC, Pedro Lima Ferreira, Miguel van Uden, João Ribeiro, Nuno e Ana, João Baltazar, Miguel Marques, Corto Lemos, Carlos Martins, Tiago Leite Tomás Costa, Rita Sá Marques, Geoffrey Marcelino, Luis, Maria Pimentel, Rui Amorim, RB, Pedro Frois Costa, Gabriel Sousa, Mário Lourenço, Filipe Bento Caires, Diogo Sampaio Viana, Tiago Taveira, Ricardo Leitão, Pedro B.

Yes! Cider has a back story behind the American Revolution In the 1700s ceramic teapots were the political bumper stickers of the day! In this episode we hear about the Cyder Act teapot that the Museum of the American Revolution located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has just acquired. The museum's Curator of Collections, Mark Turdo, tells us how the British based uprisings against the over reaching Cyder Act played a pivotal role in the American Revolution -  in that they help to teach American how to protest! Placing your dissent on teapots was an obvious protest and that is exactly what the Cyder Pot helped to teach! In these modern time uprising against tyranny happens on a daily basis, but colonist in the New World were dedicated to the crown and it was unheard of to revolt...That is until they began seeing English cidermakers revolt against taxation when the Cyder Act was introduced. These ceramic Cyder Act Pots were made in England and displayed in homes, but their symbolism was far reaching. Taxation's heavy hand was being push back and that alone was monumental forward thinking! The Stamp Act in America Gets Repealed Great Britain was on the hunt for more revenue and the Stamp Act was their ticket in the New World. It was set up to stamp a duty (tax) on newspapers and legal and commercial documents. Thanks to the models of resistance displayed by the British cidermakers and their Cyder Act Teapots, Americans saw that they too could revolt against taxation! The Stamp Act never gained footing and was repealed a year after it was introduced.  This is all to say that the path to freedom and independence from tyranny is not always a straight forward path. The Cyder Act Pot is a perfect example of  a monumental sidebar lesson that helped fuel the American Revolution! Take a deep dive into this story in English Cider Fermented the American Revolution via Mark Turdo's blog Pommel Cyder Mark A. Turdo Mark also recommends Chapter 4 "The Cider Tax, Popular Symbolism and Opposition in Mid-Hanoverian England," in Markets, Market Culture and Popular Protest in Eighteenth-Century Britain and Ireland, edited by Adrian Randall and Andrew Charlesworth. Help show case Cider's place in the American Revolution Your tax-deductible gift will allow The Museum of the American Revolution to complete the acquisition of this 18th-century teapot with the inscriptions “No Cyder Act” and “Apples at Liberty”. Adding this rare piece to the Museum's collection will help visitors see how taxation incited protests for increased liberty on both sides of the Atlantic, and ultimately led Americans to declare independence.

As Kazakhstan suppresses anti-government protests with the help of Russian-led troops, the Kyiv Independent closely monitors and reports on a situation that could affect Ukraine's future

The United States has broken the global record for coronavirus cases with 1.13 million new infections. And as Covid-19 cases surge across the world, governments are attempting to control the spread and protect buckling health systems by tightening restrictions. - Amerika Serikat telah memecahkan rekor global untuk kasus virus corona dengan 1,13 juta infeksi baru.

Today I talk to Jared Davidson, the author of The History of a Riot: Class, Popular Protest and Violence in Early Colonial Nelson (Bridget Williams Books, 2021). In 1843, the New Zealand Company settlement of Nelson was rocked by the revolt of its emigrant labourers. Over 70 gang-men and their wives collectively resisted their poor working conditions through petitions, strikes and, ultimately, violence. Yet this pivotal struggle went on to be obscured by stories of pioneering men and women ‘made good'. The History of a Riot uncovers those at the heart of the revolt for the first time. Who were they? Where were they from? And how did their experience of protest before arriving in Nelson influence their struggle? By putting violence and class conflict at the centre, this fascinating microhistory upends the familiar image of colonial New Zealand. An archivist by day and labour historian by night, Jared Davidson is an award-winning writer based in Wellington, New Zealand. He is the author of the acclaimed Dead Letters: Censorship and Subversion in New Zealand 1914-1920, Remains to Be Seen, and Sewing Freedom, and co-author of He Whakaputanga: The Declaration of Independence (BWB, 2017). Through social biography and history, Jared explores the lives of people often overlooked by traditional histories — from working-class radicals of the early twentieth century to prison convicts and relief workers of the nineteenth.

Hela Ammar (Artist) and Mohamed Kerrou (University of Tunis El Manar) give a talk for the Middle East Centre Friday Seminar Series. Chaired by Dr Michael Willis (St Antony's College, Oxford), the discussant was Professor Charles R H Tripp (SOAS). The overthrow of Ben Ali's dictatorship in 2011 was revolutionary both in its method and in its outcome, involving mass participation and opening the way for the establishment of democratic institutions. However, like all such events, it is part of a process that continues as Tunisians grapple with the challenge of bringing about significant change not simply in their governing institutions, but also in the other areas of political, social, cultural and economic life that shape the lives and the rights of citizens. This panel will explore some of the achievements of the past ten years, but also the unfinished business and unrealised hopes that have marked Tunisia's political trajectory. Speaker Biographies Dr Héla Ammar https://www.helaammar.com/index.php/about Héla Ammar is a Tunisia based visual artist. In addition to her training in visual art, she holds a Phd in Law. Author of Corridors (2014), a photo book on Tunisian prisons, and co-author of Siliana Syndrome (2013), a survey of death row in Tunisia, she recently developed a whole artwork around the prison environment. In 2011, immediately after the revolution, she was part of the Artocracy Inside Out project that sought, through art, to reclaim public spaces in Tunisia for the Tunisian public. She was also a member of the commission set up by the Tunisian government in 2011 to look into the conditions of prisons across the country. More generally, her photographs and installations address issues of memory and identity. A selection of her works now forms part of the British Museum (London) and the Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris) permanent collections. Her work has been showcased in various international biennials and exhibitions including the Biennial of Contemporary Arab World Photographers (Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris, 2017), Réenchantements Dak’art Biennial 2016 (Senegal), Fragments d’une Tunisie contemporaine, MuCem (Marseille,2015), Bamako Encounters (Mali, 2015 and 2017), Something Else, Off Biennial Cairo (Egypt 2015) International Photography Encounters of Fes (Morocco, 2015), Monochromes Dak’art Biennal, (Senegal 2014), the 27th Instants Vidéo (Festival numérique et poétique, Marseille 2014), World Nomads New York ( USA, 2013), Les rencontres photographiques d’Arles (France, 2013), Dream City (Tunisia, 2010, 2012 and 2017) Prof Mohamed Kerrou Mohamed Kerrou is Professor of Political Science at the Faculty of Law and Political Science at the University of Tunis El Manar. He is also a permanent member of the Tunisian Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters Beit Al-Hikma, as well as a founding member of the Tunisian Observatory for Democratic Transition.

Nouveaux voiles et espaces publics, Tunis, Cérès, 2010; D'islam et d'ailleurs. Hommage à Clifford Geertz, Tunis, Cérès, 2007. His forthcoming book, currently in press, is entitled: Jemna. L'oasis de la révolution, Tunis, Cérès, 2021.

Social movements often seek to shift public opinion and mobilize supporters on a large scale. But which tactics achieve these goals most effectively? And how have social movements achieved this in the past?Dr Laila Kassam is a co-founder of Animal Think Tank and the co-editor of the forthcoming book, Rethinking Food and Agriculture: New Ways Forward.Topics discussed in the episode:“The social movement ecology” and the theoretical framework that Animal Think Tank uses (3:10)The importance of public opinion for social change, and the pros and cons of actions that polarize public opinion (16:35)The evidence base the Animal Think Tank and This Is An Uprising use, and the weaknesses of using social movement evidence to glean strategic knowledge for the farmed animal movement (20:55)Extinction Rebellion and Animal Rebellion — what they're doing, why, and Animal Think Tank's lessons from the first actions (25:48)Sacrifice, demandingness, and mass arrests as potential motivators and demotivators for activists (33:07)Creative actions, stunts, gimmicks and the effects that these have on perceptions of social movements (42:07)The value of confrontational tactics like Direct Action Everywhere's disruption of Bernie Sanders' rally (49:30)Whether veganism or “active and sustained participation” in the movement is more tractable (55:38)Animal Think Tank's current research priorities (1:02:22)Other resources that Animal Think Tank recommends reading (1:09:12)Rethinking Food and Agriculture — Laila's co-edited book and the value of expertise in “sustainable agriculture” for the farmed animal movement (1:17:17)Laila's experience with international development work and her concerns with this field (1:25:15)The importance of funding constraints for Animal Rebellion and other organisations focusing on building a mass protest movement (1:33:08)Resources discussed in the episode are available at https://www.sentienceinstitute.org/podcastSupport the show (https://www.sentienceinstitute.org/donate)

Popular protest movements have helped shift attitudes and shape Australia. Like the millions who marched to demand an end to Vietnam War. Today, Extinction Rebellion protesters are taking to the streets.  What are the ingredients of a successful protest?  Do rallies and radical activism, still get results?

If there is one theme, beyond corruption and a host of economic and social grievances, that have driven protests -- large and small, local, sectoral and national – across the globe, it has been a call for dignity.

Nearly a decade after the Arab uprisings gripped the region, large-scale protests have broken out in Iraq and Egypt. In Iraq, arguably one of the most open political systems in the Arab world, authorities struck the protesters with surprising levels of violence. In Egypt, the surprise was that protests took place at all, given the historic levels of authoritarian repression. What do the protests reveal about state failure—and what kind of pressure do they exert on governments to change? Iraq and Egypt, like many governments in the region, have rigid systems that appear incapable of serious changes in policy or governance. What can we learn from the latest round of revolts? Participants include: Maria Fantappie, Iraq senior adviser, International Crisis Group Michael Wahid Hanna, senior fellow, The Century Foundation Thanassis Cambanis, senior fellow, The Century Foundation

In what'll likely be the last RP before we're off to The World Transformed to cavort with Gape Nation and hobnob with the great and the good of the hard left, writer and New Socialist culture co-editor Rhian E. Jones joins Jack - who holds the same position at NS - and Geraint, to review the great Mike Leigh's most recent film, last year's Peterloo, and talk about the historical events that inspired it. Rhian has a unique perspective on politics and their intersection with culture popular and otherwise, as seen in books such as Under My Thumb: Songs That Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them, Triptych: Three Studies of The Manic Street Preachers' Holy Bible and Clampdown: Pop-Cultural Wars on Class and Gender. She's also a historian of the Chartist movement, bringing her expertise to her book Petticoat Heroes: Gender, Culture and Popular Protest in the Rebecca Riots, as well as Jack Whitehall's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? She's also written for publications such as Tribune and the Guardian. Rhian talks to us about the historical accuracy of the film, its portrayal of the role of women in the Chartist movement, and how the grotesquery of Peterloo's ruling classes is basically justified. We go on numerous detours, including a discussion of Mike Leigh's other films, the art and poetry that the Peterloo massacre inspired, and its ongoing cultural and political resonances, plus Bob Dylan, Paul Weller, and forgotten '90s punk outfit S*M*A*S*H and their fist-pumping 1994 classic 'I Want To Kill Somebody'. Read the piece Rhian wrote for New Socialist about Peterloo here: https://newsocialist.org.uk/peterloo-poetry-and-politics-protest-history/ and a kind of companion piece by Joseph Cozens here: https://newsocialist.org.uk/british-left-and-contested-memories-peterloo/ We left no material featuring Rhian on the cutting room floor, but if you like this and want us to keep churning out the goods, subscribe to patreon.com/reelpolitik

As we have seen over the last several months on this show, America’s first libertarian movement called Locofocoism was, but one among many reform movements dotting the Jacksonian period. For a century and a half, historians have diligently detailed the stories of abolitionists, working people, feminists, land reformers, prohibitionists, suffragists, and suffragettes, free lovers, communists, industrialists, progressivists, free thinkers, transcendentalists, socialists, and the Young America Artistic Movement that lent credibility to the broad cause of reform. This week, we turn to an example of yet more mixed success in which radical Locofocoism was both implemented and watered down at the same time.

In this episode we're joined by Rhian Jones as she talks us through her book Petticoat Heroes: Gender, Culture and Popular Protest in the Rebecca Riots. We discuss the events that led up to the protests, the theatrics of Rebaccism and the role of gender within them. Enjoy!

On Start the Week Kirsty Wark explores the history of protest. The Levellers were revolutionaries who brought 17th century England to the edge of radical republicanism. In his biography, John Rees argues the Levellers are central figures in the country's history of democracy. The original soldier-turned-saint and nationalist protester Joan of Arc takes centre stage in Josie Rourke's revival of Bernard Shaw's play, Saint Joan. The Labour MP, Rachel Reeves, finds inspiration in her fellow parliamentarian Alice Bacon, who she says helped usher in a new era of social justice post-war, while the political commentator James Frayne looks at the era post-Brexit and considers whether provincial England is now in revolt.

Zachariah Mampilly is the author along with Adam Branch of Africa Uprising: Popular Protest and Political Change (Zed Press, 2015). Mampilly is Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Africana Studies at Vassar College; Branch is assistant professor of political science at San Diego State University and a senior research fellow at the Makerere Institute of Social Research, in Kampala, Uganda. Much of the Arab Spring took place in Africa, but little commentary connected those protests to the continent. In Africa Uprising, Mampilly and Branch unearth the connections between contemporary political protests in Africa and the long history of protest in various African countries. Building on the theoretical debates between Kwame Nkrumah and Franz Fanon, Africa Uprising uses cases studies from Nigeria, Uganda, and Ethiopia to explain how the third wave of African protests have unfolded.

Ken Owen, Michael Hattem, Roy Rogers, and Liz Covart discuss the history of popular protest in early America, including the moral economy of the colonial period, the Stamp Act riots and the development of protest during the imperial crisis, and Shays' Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion in the early republic.

(Nicole) When many people think of Late Antique society, they think of powerful secular and ecclesiastical rulers; mighty emperors and archbishops. While the Archbishop of Ravenna certainly was a powerful person within the city, answering in theory only to the emperors' representative, the exarch, he had his fair share of problems with both the lay people of Ravenna and even his clergy! Find out more about the archbishop and exarch's struggles.

Professor Wrightson reviews the basic structures and aims of popular protest: notably food riots and agrarian disturbances. He notes that such disturbances were often surprisingly orderly affairs, rather than chaotic expressions of discontent. They aimed to defend traditional rights (rooted in custom) that participants felt were being threatened, either by food shortages or by agrarian changes such as enclosure. The forms taken by such events reveal a coherent moral order. Professor Wrightson reviews the tactics employed by protestors and the ways in which they constituted attempts to negotiate with authority. Official responses were often equally restrained (although the government was capable in some situations of displaying real severity). He concludes by noting that these forms of early modern popular protest were fundamentally political in nature, and that while agrarian resistance gradually subsided, these defenses of popular custom and rights influenced early forms of labor organization from the late seventeenth century onwards.

Collective violence, in the form of popular protest, was one of the principal ways in which people resisted the expansion of capitalism and the state throughout the nineteenth century. The nature of this protest can be charted through three different, but related examples: grain riots across Europe in the first half of the century, the mythical figure of Captain Swing in England, and the Demoiselles of the Ariège in France. While these movements were ultimately repressed by the forces of capital and state power, they represented an attempt on the part of working people, the "remainders" of history, to impose an idea of popular justice.
