Asked to name an activist, many people think of someone like Cesar
Chavez or Rosa Parks--someone uniquely and passionately devoted to
a cause. Yet, two-thirds of Americans report having belonged to a
social movement, attended a protest, or engaged in some form of
contentious political activity. Activism, in other words, is
something that the vast majority of people engage in. This book
examines these more common experiences to ask how and when people
choose to engage with political causes.
Corrigall-Brown reveals how individual characteristics and life
experiences impact the pathway of participation, illustrating that
the context and period in which a person engages are critical. This
is the real picture of activism, one in which many people engage,
in a multitude of ways and with varying degrees of continuity. This
book challenges the current conceptualization of activism and
pushes us to more systematically examine the varying ways that
individuals participate in contentious politics over their
lifetimes.
