'The rich empirical detail from the archives gives each set of actions its own character, and the book subtly explores the degree of neighbourhood co-operation that lay behind both strikes and food riots...Taylor's book contributes strongly to the growing literature on what James C. Scott has called the weapons of the weak.' - H. Roderick Kedward, Times Literary Supplement
