Recipes for Rebellion
When, if ever, do citizens (and maybe non-citizens too?) have the right to rebel against authority? It’s a fundamental question that we need to ask because our country has both embraced and crushed rebellions throughout history. So, to better understand how rebellions work, and when, or if they’re appropriate, we’re going to create a cookbook. Well…not just any cookbook. These will be recipes for rebellion!
