.
Nazli Konya is Assistant Professor of Government at Colby College.
"Inappropriable Force offers a compelling, beautifully written, and theoretically rich account of popular action, exposing how analytical frameworks predicated on popular sovereignty produce impoverished readings of protest. Focusing on Gezi and theorizing from the ground up, Konya deftly shows how novel resistance practices often refuse the very language and premises of the state."---Cigdem Cidam, Union College "Konya distinctively theorizes inappropriability in protesters' lived material practices of play and humor. The book offers something genuinely new to the study not only of protest but of democratic theory more generally."---Lida Maxwell, Boston University
