[Kristina Clement · Rating 4 out of 5]

Boren attempts to cover a massive history of student activism in about 250 pages, which sometimes leaves you a little wanting for more information. I do like how he highlights some of the general themes over the years of activism. If you are looking for a primer to start thinking about global activism, this is a solid start.
