This multidisciplinary study of violent student protests traces their roots back to South Africa's anti-apartheid protest traditions. It examines the fine line between the right to protest and gangsterism, the importance of political education, the role of social media in student mobilisation, the complexities around the definition of violence and the contrasting dynamics between historically advantaged and disadvantaged institutions.
