Social movements have shown themselves to be one of the most
dramatic and effective forms of political action. America, founded
as the result of a challenge to one kind of political order, has
been, in part, recreated as a result of movements of collective
protest.
Social movements continue to arise in America, Europe, Asia, and
Africa. In the present age, when such social movements abound, it
is crucial to investigate the theoretical similarities and
underpinnings of older and current collective protests. With
chapters on AIDS, the Iranian revolution, the New Left,
environmentalism, and many other subjects, as well as essays
delineating classical and contemporary theories, Social Movements
provides a well-rounded and provocative perspective on this most
compelling form of political expression.
