The year 2011 marked the emergence of a series of mobilizations of
the indignant that spread like wildfire around the world-from the
Arab Spring to Europe, and soon afterwards to Occupy Wall Street,
the Spanish 15M was pivotal to the transnational diffusion of
protest. This volume analyzes the features that turned the 15M into
a beacon for international mobilization, and those that garnered it
unprecedented domestic support, surpassing historic socio-economic
and politico-ideological fractures in Spain. It also delves into
its gradual demise, and its profound impact on the emergence of
political "offsprings" that portray themselves as heirs to the 15M
spirit, such as Podemos. This book sheds new light on the 15M
phenomenon, providing an international perspective that rejects
cultural, economic, and even political reductionism. Including
insights from sociologists and political scientists from around the
world, it explores themes such as identity, emotion, cultural
resources, the media, and the relationship between social
movements, regional institutions and the state. Each chapter
reflects on the impact and legacy of the 15M movement, as well as
the important questions it raises about the current theoretical
framework for social movements in Spain and beyond. Crisis and
Social Mobilization in Contemporary Spain: The 15M Movement is a
fascinating read for all students and scholars with interests in
political sociology and social movements.
