"Cultures of Resistance makes a major contribution to a black box in the study of social movements, namely the effects of state repression, by emphasizing the subjective experience of repression and how certain dynamics of groups and individuals affect whether repression stimulates further activism or stops it. To my knowledge, this book is indeed the first significant work to have this emphasis, and it should shape this area of social movement research for years to come."— Steven E. Barkan, author of Race, Crime, and Criminal Justice: The Continuing American Dilemma"Clear and accessible, her scholarship sound and comprehensible, Cultures of Resistance reflects the lived experiences of dealing with state repression with depth and nuance. Reynolds-Stenson does an excellent job of discussing the costs of repression."— Mike King, author of When Riot Cops Are Not Enough: The Policing and Repression of Occupy Oakland
