The party’s perceived xenophobia, isolationism, and unabashed nationalism in turn inspired a massive protest movement that expressed opposition not only through street protests but also in novels, plays, films, and music. Through careful readings of this varied cultural output, \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Resistance\u003c\/em\u003e traces the aesthetic styles and strategies deployed during this time, providing critical context for understanding modern Austrian history as well as the European protest movements of today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56122698465654,"sku":"9781836950721","price":27.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35849534_d585570b-d37b-4a27-8846-c633c92b0dc2.jpg?v=1756339003","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781836950721-the-art-of-resistance","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
