16 January 2017
Parade & Protest in the USA
The USA has elected a new president. Following this controversial and polarising event many cities took to the streets in protest. But what does this mean? What differentiates a protest from a parade or a riot and what does engagement in this type of crowd activity achieve?
Recorded in New Orleans during the election – this episode explores issues of identity, cultural affirmation and crowd behaviour in a new era for the United States of America.
