How do people become activists for causes they care deeply about?
Many people with similar backgrounds, for instance, fervently
believe that abortion should be illegal, but only some of them join
the pro-life movement. By delving into the lives and beliefs of
activists and nonactivists alike, Ziad W. Munson is able to lucidly
examine the differences between them.
Through extensive interviews and detailed studies of pro-life
organizations across the nation, Munson makes the startling
discovery that many activists join up before they develop strong
beliefs about abortion--in fact, some are even pro-choice prior to
their mobilization. Therefore, Munson concludes, commitment to an
issue is often a consequence rather than a cause of activism.
"The Making of Pro-life Activists" provides a compelling new model
of how people become activists while also offering a penetrating
analysis of the complex relationship between religion, politics,
and the pro-life movement. Policy makers, activists on both sides
of the issue, and anyone seeking to understand how social movements
take shape will find this book essential.
