Social movements and popular struggle are a central part of today's
world, but often neglected or misunderstood by media commentary as
well as experts in other fields. In an age when struggles over
climate change, women's rights, austerity politics, racism, warfare
and surveillance are central to the future of our societies, we
urgently need to understand social movements. Accessible,
comprehensive and grounded in deep scholarship, Why Social
Movements Matter explains social movements for a general educated
readership, those interested in progressive politics and scholars
and students in other fields. It shows how much social movements
are part of our everyday lives, and how in many ways they have
shaped the world we live in over centuries. It explores the
relationship between social movements and the left, how movements
develop and change, the complex relationship between movements and
intellectual life, and delivers a powerful argument for rethinking
how the social world is constructed. Drawing on three decades of
experience, Why Social Movements Matter shows the real space for
hope in a contested world.
