Embodied Activisms explores activists’ use of their bodies to resist hegemonic power and promote justice. This book spans historical perspectives, current contexts including police accountability activism and Black Lives Matter, and the most recent scholarship to interrogate activist engagement from the Americas to the Mediterranean.
