Description
Primitive Rebels by Eric J. Hobsbawm explores the origins of contemporary rebellion, examining how social movements have shaped western civilisation. From Robin Hood to secret societies and revolutionary peasants, Hobsbawm sheds light on the history of dissent in modern times. This study reveals how familiar terms such as 'social banditry' were coined by Hobsbawm decades before they became widely used. His insightful analysis is critical to understanding movements like UK Uncut, Black Lives Matter and international resistance to Donald Trump's presidency. Reissued with a new introduction by Owen Jones, Primitive Rebels provides a comprehensive guide to the revolutions that have shaped our world and the individuals who fought for change.
