Given their tendency to splinter over tactics and goals, social
movements are rarely unified. Following the modern Western animal
rights movement over thirty years, Corey Lee Wrennapplies the
sociological theory of Bourdieu, Goffman, Weber, and contemporary
social movement researchers to examine structural conditions in the
animal rights movement, facilitating factionalism in today's era of
professionalized advocacy. Modern social movements are dominated by
bureaucratically oriented nonprofits, a special arrangement that
creates tension between activists and movement elites who compete
for success in a corporate political arena. Piecemeal Protest
examines the impact of nonprofitization on factionalism and a
movement's ability to mobilize, resonate, and succeed.
Wrenn'sexhaustive analysis of archival movement literature and
exclusive interviews with movement leaders illustrate how entities
with greater symbolic capital are positioned to monopolize
claims-making, disempower competitors, and replicate hegemonic
power, eroding democratic access to dialogue and decision-making
essential for movement health. Piecemeal Protest examines social
movement behavior shaped by capitalist ideologies and state
interests. As power concentrates to the disadvantage of
marginalized factions in the modern social movement arena,
Piecemeal Protest shines light on processes of factionalism and
considers how, in the age of nonprofits, intra-movement inequality
could stifle social progress.
