Studying Charles Tilly (1929-2008), American sociologist, historian
and political scientist, is essential for understanding political
change and social conflict. His research focuses on how grassroots
populations, through different forms of collective action,
influence historical events by trying to improve the conditions of
people's lives. This book is not only an homage to Tilly, but is
also aimed at understanding and applying his thought. In each
chapter, the authors, experts on Tilly's work, examine his
concepts, theories, and methodological contributions, providing a
richer understanding of them. In addition, this book is very
contemporary. From the beginning of this century, mainly from 2011,
important popular mobilizations, such as the Arab Spring and 15-M
or "los indignados" (the indignant movement in Spain), gradually
spread to other countries (the US, Yemen, Israel, etc.) in
successive "Occupy" movements. The political mobilization of the
grassroots movements are undergoing a resurgence, a process that
Tilly would have wanted to study. This book can be a good guide for
analyzing and understanding these movements.
