“Carl Griffin and Briony McDonagh have made an important contribution to the field of British protest studies. … in my view this is a very well-researched, informative and deeply committed collection, and it undoubtedly strengthens and enhances what is already a venerable canon of work on British protest history.” (Peter Jones, Family & Community History, Vol. 22 (2), July, 2019)
