How do social movements intersect with the agendas of mainstream
political parties? When they are integrated with parties, are they
coopted? Or are they more radically transformative? Examining major
episodes of contention in American politics - from the Civil War
era to the women's rights and civil rights movements to the Tea
Party and Trumpism today - Sidney Tarrow tackles these questions
and provides a new account of how the interactions between
movements and parties have been transformed over the course of
American history. He shows that the relationships between movements
and parties have been central to American democratization - at
times expanding it and at times threatening its future. Today,
movement politics have become more widespread as the parties have
become weaker. The future of American democracy hangs in the
balance.
