The book shows how these different activists and their organizations were inter-related, but also how, at the same time, they were very often separated by ideological, cultural, and geographic divisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Ross Lambertson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575863443638,"sku":"9781442679238","price":91.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442679238_5512e8f9-40c9-4eb6-aeea-dfc63a9e1f38.jpg?v=1727467163","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/repression-and-resistance-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
