Brown G, Feigenbaum A, Frenzel F, McCurdy P (eds.) (2017) Protest Camps and Social Movements. An International Perspective, Policy Press: Bristol

‘Since the proliferation of peace camps inspired by Greenham Common in the 1980s, the occupation of sites of political contestation has become a globally significant form of protest. This collection offers exciting and perceptive analyses of long-term site-specific political interventions around the world, and is a must-read for all those interested in social movements and contemporary politics.’ Sasha Roseneil, University of Essex

Frenzel F (2016) Slumming it: The Tourist Valorisation of Urban Poverty, Zed Books: London

‘This provocative and beautifully written study of slum tourism will transform your assumptions about the politics of slumming it.’ Imogen Tyler, author of Revolting Subjects

‘A provoking read, exceptional in its efforts to understand slum tourism as a global industry and a symbolic practice of valorisation.’ Africa at LSE

‘A well-argued case for building political projects out of what we have in common, rather than being immobilised by cultural difference.’ VICE

‘Based on years of embedded fieldwork, Frenzel’s book cuts through the powerful mythology surrounding the so-called slums, townships, and favelas as tourist attractions.’         Bianca Freire-Medeiros, author of Touring Poverty

Feigenbaum, A, Frenzel F and McCurdy P (2013) Protest Camps, Zed Books: London

‘Much has been written about recent protests as digital networks, but too little about the physical process of continuously occupying significant space. Feigenbaum, Frenzel and McCurdy’s wonderful book brings a fresh perspective to our understanding of contemporary political action, connecting to the history of occupations from Greenham onwards and offering smart conceptual tools for analysing both recent and historical events in all their richness, messiness and hidden order. A fine achievement.’ Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science
