One hundred and forty characters will not be changing the world

City, 2013, vol. 17, issue 5, 657-660

Abstract: Drawing on a background of community organising experience and the work of Paolo Freire and Hamid Dabashi, this response to Paul Mason's Why It's Still Kicking of Everywhere explores some of the limits of seeing the current wave of uprising and rebellion through a Eurocentric lens, and challenges us both to look to broader histories of struggle from around the world and work towards developing new theory as we seek to understand today's uprisings on their own terms.
