Portugal offers an interesting case for exploring this question, as a nation that was among the hardest hit by austerity and is now seeking a fresh path forward. This collection brings together sociologists, social movement specialists, political scientists, and other scholars to look specifically at how Portuguese youth have navigated this politically and economically difficult period, negotiating uncertain social circumstances as they channel their discontent into protest and collective action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“By intersecting precariousness, social movements, youth, and digital media, this volume makes an outstanding contribution to the literature in this field. It is empirically detailed and theoretically sound in its ability to bring forward ideas and reveal the context of how precariousness shapes collective action. Also, by exploring a less known case, it fills a gap in the literature by positioning Portugal in the wider context of crisis movements. Therefore, the book is proficient in linking socioeconomic factors with collective action.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Mobilization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“By focusing on young people,\u003c\/em\u003e Protest, Youth, and Precariousness \u003cem\u003einvestigates the collective reaction to the economic and financial crisis and the consequent austerity measures most governments have put in place to mitigate or to address it.
