Defend Dissent is an introduction to cryptography paired with the social impacts of surveillance and the protective potential of encryption, with a focus on US social movements. Each chapter ends with a story that brings social context to the material--from surveillance used against contemporary US protests to the African National Congress's use of partially manual encryption in fighting apartheid in South Africa in the 80s Publisher description
