Posted 2021-02-04 19:29:08 by Andrew Prescott
The last article to be published by History and Policy in 2020 was by 'People of 1381' team members Andrew Prescott, Adrian Bell, Helen Lacey and Anne Curry, and discussed how medieval revolts can help us understand modern mass protest. The article considers how the methodology used by the 'People of 1381' project offers insights into the dynamics of modern protest such as the Poll Tax riots of 1990 (the 30th anniversary of which occurred in 2020) and the Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020.
