Timothy Zick

Opis

Using non-technical, accessible language, this book analyses the laws, regulations, customs, and norms that affect public protest. It explains how the law of public protest imposes a system of 'managed dissent,' which has led to overly broad and punitive limits on public expression and collective protest.

Recenzje

'Tim Zick has produced the definitive account of the law of public protest. While he offers an impassioned defense of public protest, Zick also warns of the many forces aligned against it. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in how governments manage dissent and how we can preserve our long tradition of public protest.' Nadine Strossen, National President (1991–2008), ACLU
