“Maddanu and Toscano’s book daringly broaches multiple facets of the Covid 19 crisis. Its originality lies in its impressive international range combined with in-depth case studies. It investigates the plight induced by the pandemic but also social actors’ capacity of action, thus permitting theorical and empirical accounts. The book brings into relief three central issues which stand uppermost among current social concerns: inequalities, youth and democracy. It will undoubtedly constitute a precious resource for both social scientists and the wider public.“ Daniele Joly, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Warwick, UK. “The Covid-19 pandemic has not only been a major global health emergency but also a social and political event that has exacerbated inequalities in society while shedding light on deep-seated social conflicts and triggering new ones. This edited collection brings together social scientists from different world regions to look at the evolution of grievances and conflicts during the pandemic, from the impact of the emergency on social movements to its fuelling of new forms of discrimination. Rigorously researched and rich in geographic coverage, this volume is a precious resource to navigate the global landscape of post-pandemic.” Paolo Gerbaudo, Reader in Digital Politics, King’s College London, UK.
