Activists Forever? explores the consequences of political
involvement on an individual's life. While much of the research in
this area has focused on the motivations of entire protests groups,
the editors of this volume propose an approach that focuses on
actors. This book examines political involvement's
socio-biographical effects, or the ways in which political
commitment generates or modifies dispositions to act, think, and
perceive, in a way that is either consistent with or in contrast to
the results of previous socialization. The contents explore what
political involvement leads to rather than what causes involvement.
Using a variety of case studies, this collection of essays provides
global coverage with a focus on participation in major protests in
the 1960s and significantly broadens our understanding by looking
outside the United States. These essays look at the lasting effects
of activists' knowledge, connections, and symbolic capital on their
future participation in politics, as well as their personal and
professional lives.
