"Contention in Times of Crisis: Recession and Political Protest in Thirty European Countries" is a book that examines how Europeans protested in response to the Great Recession and the Euro crisis. The authors analyze protest data from 30 European countries and categorize them into three regions: northwestern Europe, southern Europe, and central-eastern Europe. The book is divided into four parts, covering topics such as protest trends, sources of protest, and the relationship between protest and electoral politics. The authors find that protest patterns varied by region and country context, and there was minimal innovation in protest during this period. The book concludes by discussing the future of protest in the online information environment. While the book offers valuable quantitative insights, it lacks consideration for rural locations and dynamics. [Extracted from the article]
