Description
This comprehensive historical account explores the birth and spread of social movements from 1768 to 2018. Renowned social scientist Charles Tilly provides an accessible explanation of how social movements have evolved over time, using real-world examples and case studies.
The book examines the implications of globalization and new technologies on social movements, as well as their prospects for success. It includes data from various countries, including England, Switzerland, Russia, China, India, and others, and features updated case studies on recent social movements such as Black Lives Matter and the Catalan movement for independence.
With its focus on contentious politics and categorical inequalities, this book offers a nuanced understanding of social movements. The new edition includes timelines and discussion questions to help readers understand the events discussed and their significance.
