collective action? In Contentious Minds, Florence Passy and
Gian-Andrea Monsch explain how cognitive and relational processes
allow activists participate in and sustain their commitment to
activism. Based on a wide array of survey and interview data with
activists engaged in protest, volunteering and unions, they
highlight how a commitment community develop shared values,
identities, and meanings through interaction. The interplay of talk
and ties enables stories and meanings to be constructed and
exchanged, conveys worldviews and intentions that are modified
through ongoing conversations, and reinforces and maintains
commitment over time. Passy and Monsch's ambitious work brings the
mind and culture back into the study of social movements and
highlights the crucial role social networks play in constructing
the communities and shared values that sustain commitment.
