Davenport, Christian ; Johnston, Hank ; Mueller, Carol, Repression and Mobilization , Minneapolis, University of Minnesota Press, 2005, pp. 258 Explores varied forms of repression and means of response drawing on a wide sociological literature. Particularly relevant is Hank Johnston, ‘Talking the Walk: Speech Acts and Resistance in Authoritarian Regimes’ (pp. 108-37), exploring underground humour, graffiti, hit and run tactics, informal opposition networks, ‘duplicitous organisation’ – using official status for opposition, and role of recreational, cultural and religious groups. Johnston also notes how official political and cultural events can be subverted. (Strong overlap with ch. 4 in
Johnston, States & Social Movements (A. 6. Nonviolent Action and Social Movements ) .)
