Boycotts and Dixie Chicks introduces the concept of 'creative
political participation', collective political actions which do not
use traditional methods and which are innovative, collaborative and
creative in character. Andrew S. McFarland discusses creative
participation on issues concerning the environment, political
corruption, consumer rights, and transnational issues. He draws on
specific examples including anti-corruption demonstrations in
contemporary rural China, community action in 1890s Wisconsin,
consumer boycotts of Shell Oil, ExxonMobil, the Nestle Corporation,
and the Dixie Chicks music group, the 'colour revolutions' and
transnational fair trade and transparency activism. Written in an
engaging, everyday language and using a wide variety of sources and
case studies, Boycotts and Dixie Chicks is highly recommended for
students of alternative social and political movements and
sociology.
