Brief Uprisings

Summary

Brief Uprisings examines the surprisingly significant role of short-duration protests in shaping political and social landscapes. It delves into why some of these "brief uprisings" achieve tangible results while others quickly dissipate. The book uniquely focuses on protests lasting only hours or days, challenging the conventional wisdom that only sustained movements can effect real change. Analyzing fleeting demonstrations through the lenses of political science and history, the study reveals how these events can act as barometers of public sentiment and catalysts for broader social movements.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with a clear definition of "brief uprisings" before diving into case studies from various historical periods and geographical locations. These case studies explore how protesters strategize, how authorities respond, and what immediate impacts result, such as shifts in public opinion or policy changes. For example, a focused, short protest with clear objectives may prove more effective than a longer movement lacking cohesion. The analysis draws on primary sources, including news reports and government documents, to paint a comprehensive picture of each event's scale and impact.

 
Ultimately, Brief Uprisings synthesizes its findings to identify the conditions under which these short-lived protests are most likely to succeed. It demonstrates how even brief moments of collective action and political activism can leave a lasting mark on public discourse and policy change. This perspective offers invaluable insights for activists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the dynamics of social change and the power of public demonstrations.

Misinformation Nation - Foreign...

Jordan E. Taylor

In Misinformation Nation, Jordan E. Taylor reveals how foreign news defined the boundaries of early American politics and ultimately drove colonists to revolt against Britain and create a new nation. 
 
 
 
News was the lifeblood of early American politics, but newspaper printers had few reliable sources to report on events from abroad. Though frequently false, the information that Americans encountered in newspapers, letters, and conversations framed their sense of reality, leading them to respond with protests, boycotts, violence, and the creation of new political institutions. Fearing that their enemies were spreading fake news, American colonists fought for control of the news media. As their basic perceptions of reality diverged, Loyalists separated from Patriots and, in the new nation created by the revolution, Republicans inhabited a political reality quite distinct from that of their Federalist rivals. 
 
 
 
The American Revolution was not only a political contest for liberty, equality, and independence (for white men, at least); it was also a contest to define certain accounts of reality to be truthful while defining others as false and dangerous. Misinformation Nation argues that we must also conceive of the American Revolution as a series of misperceptions, misunderstandings, and uninformed overreactions.
