Charles Tilly is among the most influential American sociologists
of the last century. For the first time, his pathbreaking work on a
wide array of topics is available in one comprehensive reader. This
manageable and readable volume brings together many highlights of
Tilly's large and important oeuvre, covering his contribution to
the following areas: revolutions and social change; war, state
making, and organized crime; democratization; durable inequality;
political violence; migration, race, and ethnicity; narratives and
explanations. The book connects Tilly's work on large-scale social
processes such as nation-building and war to his work on micro
processes such as racial and gender discrimination. It includes
selections from some of Tilly's earliest, influential, and out of
print writings, including The Vendee; Coercion, Capital and
European States; the classic "War Making and State Making as
Organized Crime;" and his more recent and lesser-known work,
including that on durable inequality, democracy, poverty, economic
development, and migration. Together, the collection reveals
Tilly's complex, compelling, and distinctive vision and helps place
the contentious politics approach Tilly pioneered with Sidney
Tarrow and Doug McAdam into broader context. The editors abridge
key texts and, in their introductory essay, situate them within
Tilly's larger opus and contemporary intellectual debates. The
chapters serve as guideposts for those who wish to study his work
in greater depth or use his methodology to examine the pressing
issues of our time. Read together, they provide a road map of
Tilly's work and his contribution to the fields of sociology,
political science, history, and international studies. This book
belongs in the classroom and in the library of social scientists,
political analysts, cultural critics, and activists.
