"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing," Thomas Jefferson wrote to his good friend James Madison in 1787, upon hearing the news of Shays’ Rebellion. This is the story of how that little rebellion, largely centered in the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts, became part of the cultural legacy Marshall Bloom inherited when he founded the Montague Farm in 1968. The Amherst College graduate, underground journalist and Movement wunderkind revived Daniel Shays’ spirit, stirred in some theater of the absurd, and planted the seeds that blossomed into one of the most concentrated centers of cultural and political radicalism in America.

Resisting State Surveillance in the Digital Age provides an in-depth examination of the complexity and diversity of organised opposition to increasing state surveillance powers in the UK. Taking the introduction of the Investigatory Powers Act as a central case study and combining an analysis of publicly available commentary and campaign materials, with detailed expert interviews, this book provides a comprehensive mapping of organised opposition to state surveillance at a time of heightened debate. It reveals the importance of looking at resistance from a multi-actor perspective, capturing the complex relationships between the actors that oppose state surveillance measures. It traces the varied arguments and knowledge that these groups bring to debates, and the–at times unlikely–coalitions that are formed as a result. The state’s mobilization in response, and the strategies designed to defy and diminish the value and knowledge of this opposition are also given much needed scrutiny. This book will be of interest to researchers across the social and political sciences, including sociology, criminology, and socio-legal studies. It will be useful to students studying surveillance and social control or those with an interest in resistance and social movements. Policy professionals and activists may also find its various insights and recommendations useful for future work in this area.
