We are pleased to announce the release of Benjamin Abrams’ book, The Rise of the Masses. Benjamin is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow. His book is one of the very first to explain how protest unfolded during the 2020 BLM movement and offers a new theory of mass mobilisation.
I can't believe it. It's OUT!
Almost a decade since I started work on the project, The Rise of the Masses finally releases today. It's been a true labour of love and I am overjoyed to finally share it with everyone.
Thanks, all, for your support. It means a great deal.
