About the book:

Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history, and how its force is foundational and can empower us to navigate our chaotic world. Professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today’s climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall sheds light on known and forgotten movements and their unsung leaders, revealing how protest has shaped our nation and remains a vital force for change today.

Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents, secondary sources, and memoirs, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances, planet Earth.
