Provides a critical overview of the Olympic industry and its political opponents. After presenting a brief history of Olympic activism, Jules Boykoff turns his attention to on-the-ground activism through the lens of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Here we see how anti-Olympic activists deploy a range of approaches to challenge the Olympic machine, from direct action and the seizure of public space to humour-based and online tactics.
