    Annie Groves was the creation of the much-loved writer, Penny Halsall, who died in 2011. Penny was born and lived in the north-west of England all of her life and the Annie Groves novels drew on her family’s history, picked up from listening to her grandmother’s stories as a child.
    Penny’s legacy of heart-warming and uplifting novels lives on through writer Jenny Shaw - who knew Penny personally for many years.

    From the Publisher
    "Seminal."— New Internationalist


    "Faced with neoliberal austerity and increasingly authoritarian states from Egypt to America, a new generation has created a resistance movement that combines anarchist networking with the rich heritage of left-populism. As a lucid explanation of this phenomenon, The Mask and the Flag could not be more timely."— Paul Mason, author of PostCapitalism and Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere


    "The Mask and the Flag is one of the few studies of the "movements of the squares" that goes beyond the usual platitudes and wishful thinking and actually provides thought-provoking insights. It will hopefully inspire future studies of these movements, as well as of progressive politics in the early twenty-first century more generally." — Cas Mudde, University of Georgia and University of Oslo, and author of Populism: A Very Short Introduction


    "In a moment in which the term populism is being used and abused, this volume proposes an original theoretical framework and a thick empirical analysis of a broad range of protests against austerity, suggesting the emergence of a long-term wave of contentious politics characterized by new conceptions of citizenry and democracy. A stimulating read to provoke discussion on the successes, but also the challenges, for progressive politics." — Donatella della Porta, Professor of Sociology at the European University Institute, author of Social Movements in Times of Austerity


    "This book is essential reading in the time of Brexit and Trump because it reminds us that the upsurge of populism has a message of hope as well as one of shock. Drawing on the accounts of activists, Gerbaudo gets inside both the dreams and complexities of movements that form the basis for a democracy renewed."— Tim Jordan, Professor of Digital Cultures, University of Sussex, and author of Information Politics


    "The book is an important contribution to debates on how to make anarchist politics relevant and effective and poses crucial challenges to anarchist practice that should be taken seriously."—Anarchist Studies
