Description
This comprehensive textbook explores the structure and dynamics of social movements, providing students with a thorough understanding of collective mobilization and its role in driving social change.
Organized around the major subfields of social movement scholarship, the book covers key topics such as framing, movement emergence, recruitment, and outcomes, using real data from the US and globally to illustrate its concepts.
Through case studies and examples, students will gain insight into the cultural repertoires used by movements, including flyers, pamphlets, event data, and illustrations, to mobilize groups around issues such as immigration, climate justice, and economic inequality.
