This cutting-edge and authoritative Handbook covers a broad
spectrum of social movement research methodologies, offering expert
analysis and detailed accounts of the ways in which research can
effectively be carried out on social movements and popular
protests. Addressing practice-oriented questions, this Handbook
engages with both theoretical and political dimensions, unpacking
the multidimensional nature of social movement research. Divided
into three thematic sections, this stimulating Handbook dives deep
into discussions relating to the methodological challenges raised
by researching social movements, the technical question of how such
research is conducted, and then to more practical considerations
about the uses and applications of movement research. Expert
contributors and established researchers utilise real-world
examples to explore the methodological challenges from a range of
perspectives including classical, engaged, feminist, Black,
Indigenous and global Southern viewpoints. The Handbook on Research
Methods and Applications for Social Movements will not only appeal
to experienced researchers, but also to activists who have started
to think about researching their own movements and to politically
engaged students. It speaks to beginning and established scholars
in relevant disciplines such as sociology, political science,
anthropology, geography, development studies, gender studies, and
race and ethnic studies, and particularly those looking to better
appreciate the different research methods for understanding social
movements.

Among the women artists who have transcended art history, none had
a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo
(1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty
extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations;
along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as
Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin
Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century
art.After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of
her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her
at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural
Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work
garnered praise from the poet André Breton, who added the Mexican
painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her
work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and
Duchamp.We access the intimacy of Frida’s affections and passions
through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, and
an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida,
Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida’s home and the center of her
universe.This book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo’s
paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots
and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections
and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been
exhibited for more than 80 years.
