Protest Inc.: The Corporatization of Activism by Peter Dauvergne and Genevieve Lebaron, aims at shedding light on the less known angle of the global activism.

The authors are interested in how widespread current grassroots movements have become captured in the very structures and discourses they originally sought to combat….You knew this would happen, didn't you.
