A timely history of peaceful protests from around the world - from 1170 BCE to the present day. Protest by ordinary people has changed the planet throughout history and made the world a better place. The global history of protest is brought to life in this engagingly illustrated book – from the women’s march in ancient Rome, through the peasants’ revolt, abolitionist movement and the suffragettes right up to Extinction Rebellion and Greta Thunberg. It also looks at creative ways of protesting – student strikes, singing protests, guerrilla gardening, noisy protests and surreal happenings; and ends with a practical section on how children can organise or participate in a protest themselves.
