Professor Gloria J. Browne-Marshall, Life Fellow, will be releasing a book titled A Protest History of the United States on April 22nd. The book is being published by Beacon Press and is the next book in Beacon’s ReVisioning History series.
The book begins with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continues through time to today’s climate change demonstrations. Browne-Marshall uses 400 years of protests and resistance movements to show what long lasting change has come from them, whether or not the protests accomplished their end goals at that time.
Professor Browne-Marshall is currently a professor of Constitutional Law and Africana Studies at John Jay College (CUNY) and was a Resident Fellow at the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School. In 2024, she won the American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Award.
