Beskrivning

From raucous football matches and raves to rubber-bullet-riddled riots, Hancox takes us into the crowd's pulsating heart to pose the questions that will define our age. Multitudes argues it is time to rethink long-held assumptions about crowd behaviour and psychology. The story of the modern world is the story of multitudes in action. Crowds are the ultimate force for change: the bringer of conviviality, euphoria, mass culture and democracy.

Recensioner i media

British journalist Dan Hancox, in his new book Multitudes goes much further than his scholarly forebears in the effort to defend the crowd from its defamers. He is an unstinting admirer of crowds and crowd action, not just as a means of social change but as a heady social experience of transcendence.
