Clover, Joshua: Riot. Strike. Riot: The New Era of Uprisings – Book review

In this book, the scholar-poet Joshua Clover is making a historical overview of the “riot,” from its “Golden Age” sometime in the 17th and 18th centuries, to its renewed popularity in our global age. In this historization of riots, Clover makes contemporary connections with the “movement of the squares” (2010-2011), including Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Oakland, the riots in Ferguson, and the rise of the Movement for Black Lives.
