Open Democracy e-book on the recent protests in London and elsewhere, available free here.

The first book to be produced by an ‘editorial kettle’ – all seven of its editors are under 30 and have been kettled by the police – Fight Back! features 350 pages of reports, analysis, images, reflections and overviews on the UK’s winter of protests by 43 authors. It asks: Is this the start of a successful movement against fees and cuts?
