Frames of Protest brings together important empirical research and
theoretical essays by leading sociologists, political scientists,
and media specialists that focus on social movement frames and
framing practices. Frames are new ways of understanding political
and social relations that emphasize injustice and the need for
change. As such, they are crucial for the development of social
movements and protest. Frames of Protest is the only book to focus
exclusively on this major research perspective in social movement
and protest studies. Thirteen chapters encompass the major themes
in the framing perspective to offer a state-of-the-art review.
Three chapters present evidence for the determining influence of
framing in social movement mobilization. Next, framing activities
by the state and the mass media are analyzed. Then, two research
reports examine the effect of political opportunities on framing-in
Poland under the Communists and in New York City's ethnic politics.
Several chapters by leading theorists present a lively debate about
the relationship of ideologies to collective action frames. The
book closes with a hands-on discussion about analyzing textual
materials and interview transcripts to do frame analysis that lends
itself to longitudinal and cross-case comparisons.
