This atlas asks why protest movements emerge, how they create change, and who the change leaves out, and it answers through two movements that IB students study side by side. The first is second-wave feminism, which between 1945 and 1985 took women from a world in which they could vote but often not sit on a jury, earn the same wage or control their own fertility, to one of new laws and a United Nations treaty. The second is the Tunisian revolution, in which twenty-eight days of protest that began in a neglected interior town ended a 23-year dictatorship and opened the only lasting democratic transition of the Arab uprisings of 2011.
Twelve chapters follow both movements. On the Atlantic map each US state and each country is coloured by one right at a time, so the map shows the law changing; on the Tunisian map each governorate is coloured by its part in the revolt, so the map shows the protest spreading. Blue marks a right won in law and red a place in revolt. Scrub the timeline, open any state or governorate for its dossier, and sit the Field Exam when you can explain both movements and say whom each one left behind.
