Reviews

'In the global wave of protest against austerity policies during the Great Recession, Iceland played a pivotal role as the early riser. Since the Pots and Pans Revolution Iceland's flag became a global symbol of courageous resistance against injustice. Based on in-depth empirical analysis and innovative theoretical thinking, this volume offers a most welcome analysis of the mechanisms through which citizens mobilize under critical circumstances as collective actions create solidarity and feelings of empowerment.' Donatella della Porta, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy

Author Information

Jón Gunnar Bernburg is Professor of Sociology at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at the University of Iceland. Since he graduated with a Ph.D. in Sociology from the State University of New York at Albany in 2002, his work has cut across several sub-fields of sociology. His early work studied the social causes of crime and deviant behavior; in recent years he has focused on the effects of the 2008 Icelandic financial collapse on individual, social, and political development. In addition to contributing to edited volumes, handbooks, and encyclopedias throughout his career, he has published articles in leading social science journals, such as Social Forces, Sociology, European Sociological Review, Criminology, Social Science & Medicine, and Mobilization.
