In this classic work of sociology, Doug McAdam presents a
political-process model that explains the rise and decline of the
black protest movement in the United States. Moving from
theoretical concerns to empirical analysis, he focuses on the
crucial role of three institutions that foster protest: black
churches, black colleges, and Southern chapters of the NAACP. He
concludes that political opportunities, a heightened sense of
political efficacy, and the development of these three institutions
played a central role in shaping the civil rights movement. In his
new introduction, McAdam revisits the civil rights struggle in
light of recent scholarship on social movement origins and
collective action.
"[A] first-rate analytical demonstration that the civil rights
movement was the culmination of a long process of building
institutions in the black community."--Raymond Wolters, "Journal of
American History"
"A fresh, rich, and dynamic model to explain the rise and decline
of the black insurgency movement in the United States."--James W.
Lamare, "Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social
Science"
