Book excerpt: "This anthology offers an alternative and critical reading of the Gezi Uprising. The argument is that resistance practices of fractions or strata of the working class in all fields of social life created the Gezi Uprising: Student movements, anti-Hydroelectric Power Plants (HES) resistances, movements against urban renewal, social upheals of white collar workers, protests of blue collar workers, women's movements, social media activism, new forms of journalism, direct democracy practices of revolutionary-popular local governments. The contributors aim to shed light on the resistance and the construction of counter-publics in 21st century Turkey, by analysing the protests of 'No' and the social upheals of 'We have a Dream' across different domains and actors. This anthology contends that an analysis of resistance and counter-publics should offer creative and useful ways of materializing the theoretical discourse on the political-public activism."--
