Together these essays synthesize what we know about repression and mobilization and provide thoughtful insight for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Patrick Ball, Science and Human Rights Program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; Vince Boudreau, City College of New York; Myra Marx Ferree, U of Wisconsin; Ronald A.
