Book review: Spaces of contention: spatialities and social movements

"Spaces of Contention: Spatialities and Social Movements." Walter Nicholls, Byron Miller, and Justin Beaumont (eds.). Ashgate. July 2013. --- As social movements have become more complex, geographers are increasingly studying the spatial dynamics of collective resistance, and sociologists and political scientists are increasingly analysing the role of space, place and scale in contentious political activity. Occupying a position at the intersection of these disciplinary developments, this book aims to examine how social movements have employed spatial practices to respond to and shape changing social and political contexts.
