DIY Culture: Party and Protest in Nineties Britain, George McKay (ed). Verso (London), 1998, 310pp. Informative, well researched, and in places inspiring collection of articles on a number of nineties movements - "from the environmentalist to the video activist, the raver to the road protester, the neo-pagan to the anarcho-capitalist". Highlights include Jim Carey of Squall magazine, John Jordan on "reclaim the streets" and Tim Maylon on the Exodus Collective. All the accounts (and Maylon's in particular) stress the fervour with which the police and criminal justice system have used the Criminal Justice Act and other "public order" instruments against protestors.
