Description

Social movements are increasingly visible in modern politics, with protests against governments, police brutality and economic inequality drawing widespread attention. In this engaging book, Devashree Gupta explores how social movements operate in diverse settings, examining their structures and strategies to challenge the status quo. Gupta draws on multiple theoretical approaches and contemporary case studies to understand how movements think and act strategically, learning from past interactions with authorities and the experiences of other movements. This accessible introduction is ideal for students of social movements and contentious politics, offering suggestions for further reading and questions for class discussion throughout. By examining the complex relationships between political and social contexts, Gupta sheds light on the ways in which social movements can bring about change in democracies and autocracies alike.
