Dissent & Protest studies crucial documents from various protests, dissents, revolts, riots, and revolutions throughout American history, from the American Revolution to the Black Lives Matter Movement of today.

Each work features a summary overview, defining moment, author biography, document analysis, and essential themes. An historical timeline and bibliography of important supplemental readings further supports readers in understanding the broader historical events covered.
