This book asks feminist questions of protest camps. An increasingly important social movement tactic, protest camps are set up by activists as a temporary home in spaces that are politically useful, symbolically resonant or otherwise important to a community, in order to facilitate action for specific political ends and often to prefigure alternative ways of life. Camps can be spaces of personal experimentation, radical lifestyle innovation and muddy, colourful contrast with adjacent militarised or corporate structures, as indicated in Jane Campbell’s testimony of her time at Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp in the UK. They can also be spaces of intense if fractured collective identity formation and of violence from the state and other sources, as intimated in the haunting imagery of Andrea Brady’s poem, written in solidarity with activists protecting Gezi Park in Istanbul. While protest camps have been much documented and analysed, as we will show later, this book seeks to explore a dimension that been neglected in the academic literature. It asks: how do the politics of gender intersect with other social identities and power dynamics to shape protest camps? What happens when feminists are involved in protest camps or set up their own? How can contemporary feminism help us see afresh both the limitations and the potential of the protest camp form? What are the legacies of past involvement in camps for feminist theory and practice?
