In a time of rising inequality and plutocratic government,
citizens' movements are emerging with growing frequency to offer
populist challenges to the declining living standards of masses of
Americans, and to protest the conditions through which individuals
suffer in poor communities across the country. This book looks at
the progression of modern social uprisings in the post-2008 period,
including the Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter,
the Bernie Sanders "Revolution," Trump's populism, the anti-Trump
revolt, and #MeToo. A key theme is that populism and mass anger at
the political-economic status quo take different forms depending on
whether the protests are progressive-left or right-wing in
orientation. Employing theories of elite politics and pluralism,
and using a mixed methods approach, Anthony DiMaggio harnesses his
rich experience with movement politics and his engagement with a
wide range of media and public opinion data to explain where we are
today and how we got here - always with an eye on moving ahead.
Aimed at courses on social movements wherever they're taught, this
book also offers general readers insight into contemporary politics
and protest.
