These protests are often considered to be illegal or are charged with disrupting the peace, and even when they are non-violent assemblies they are attacked by police and riot squads called in to disperse the protesters. Through a careful review of opposition to injustice, this book demonstrates that most often these protests and demonstrations are in support of and defend moral and legal principles that their democratic governments have forgotten to uphold or have chosen to ignore. Much like the earlier Civil Rights Movement in the US, that was centered on issues of social justice and human dignity, Westra concludes that today's protesters and social movements rally to defend human rights and moral principles against the undue influence of corporate actors, and raise their voice in opposition to the resulting actions by and under the authority of their governments. 410 0$aStudies in critical social sciences ;$vVolume 65. 606 $aProtest movements 606 $aSocial movements 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aAuthority 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProtest movements. 615 0$aSocial movements. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aAuthority. 676 $a303.48/4 700 $aWestra$b Laura$0307484 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458310803321 996 $aRevolt against authority$92015610 997 $aUNINA
