Reviews for The Verso Book of Dissent
A delightful anthology to dip into if you are or have ever been disgruntled with the status quo....There are notes explaining the context of each entry and little biographies, where necessary, which are masterpieces of concision....This is a book for radicals everywhere, both armchair and otherwise.
