LSE 'Resist' festival reading list: 5 must-read books on resistance

Between 28-30 September 2016, LSE Sociology is hosting ‘Resist: Festival of Ideas and Actions’, which aims to draw students and the wider public into the ways resistance has been interpreted and understood within academia, the arts, activism, student debate and mainstream politics. Beginning with a launch event with Vivienne Westwood in conversation on power and money, the festival will also feature daily ‘soapbox’ debates, a gig night, film screenings, theatre productions, art exhibitions, workshops and more. All events are free and open to all. To mark the occasion, five contributors to the festival recommend their must-read books on the theme of ‘resistance’ to LSE Review of Books.
