Reviews
"To Gloria Browne-Marshall, protest is primal and a prism through which she has exhaustively examined its resonance in American history. Her broad and insightful discussion of protest, from its most violent expression to the mere thrusting of one's fist in the air, shows how it has been persistently at the core of the nation's existence. She thoughtfully demonstrates that protest is essential to the origins of the US, an unbroken thread from the Powhatan to George Floyd." --Herb Boyd, American Book Award recipient and author of Black Detroit: A People's History of Self-Determination "We don't often read history seeking hope, but in Gloria Browne-Marshall's A Protest History of the United States , we find it in every exquisitely written chapter. Browne-Marshall's extraordinary book chronicles the marginalized American heroes who, through overt and covert acts of rebellion, protested systemic injustice, cruelty, and greed. Through careful research, attentive examination, and innovative vision, Browne-Marshall has uncovered a national legacy of resistance and resilience we can believe in." --Erika Krouse, author of Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation, "This is a must-read for those who seeks facts and the story regarding the history of protests in this place called America." -- Our Time Press "Browne-Marshall argues that a nation is made better when the people demand more of it, and her book offers both a history of and a guide for such protest." -- Library Journal "Attentive to historical records, memoir, environmentalism, and the arts, legal scholar Gloria Browne-Marshall provides fervent affirmation of the many different groups, causes, and methods that comprise the protest tradition from our nation's founding to today's pursuit of a more perfect union." --Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Victor S. Thomas Professor of History and of African and African American Studies, Harvard University "To Gloria Browne-Marshall, protest is primal and a prism through which she has exhaustively examined its resonance in American history.

Through careful research, attentive examination, and innovative vision, Browne-Marshall has uncovered a national legacy of resistance and resilience we can believe in." --Erika Krouse, author of Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation "'Workers are the backbone of every nation' is the important conclusion learned from Browne-Marshall's insightful chapter about labor unions and how protesting workers have fought back after being denied decent job conditions and their right to organize unions. Still, as A Protest History of the United States shows, many companies don't get it: workers never give up!" --Stefan Löfven, former prime minister of Sweden and former president of the Swedish Industrial and Metal Workers Union, "To Gloria Browne-Marshall, protest is primal and a prism through which she has exhaustively examined its resonance in American history.

Synopsis
Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history-and how its force is foundational and can empower us to navigate our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall sheds light on known and forgotten movements and their unsung leaders, revealing how protest has shaped our nation and remains a vital force for change today. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, and memoir, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those stories include those of- Wahunsenacock, commonly known as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali who refused to be inducted into the US military during the Vietnam era and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that dissent is always meaningful and impactful.
