- This book took two years to write and is the result of 2 years of extensive ethnographic fieldwork conducted for doctorate study. This involved participant observation of local anti-austerity activist cultures and in-depth semi-structured interviews with 30 individuals, which were transcribed and analysed solely by the researcher. The book applies a feminist theoretical lens combined with Bourdieu’s theory of practice to this empirical work in order to offer an in-depth description and analysis of a particular anti-austerity activism culture, the role of gender and emotion in motivating and sustaining activism, and the role of the activist identity within this context.
