This new edition gives voice to forty distinctive voices in social movement scholarship. With their contributions, sociologists, political scientists, scholars of ethnology, and other experts provide sweeping perspectives that take us through an incredibly complex yet fascinating phenomenon: the study of human beings en masse, relying not only on scholarly investigations but on day-to-day observance of interactive forces at work. Social movement variables—including strategic interactions between movement actors, both formal and informal, public and privatized spaces of action, and institutions that define or transform the "social"—come clearly to light. Not only are the equality movements spotlighted, examined, understood, but so are gendered subjects and those defined by race, ethnicity, social class, diaspora, sexual orientation, body fluidity, difference, age, gender expression, and religion. As the global economy has become interconnected and demands for social justice have risen, this exploration of its causes, manifestations, and consequences grows more urgent. READER'S REVIEW: This book is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in social and political issues of our day. While each chapter can read independently, reviewers enjoyed the threaded cohesion as well as the thorough and articulate treatment of the topic. Offering context, definitions, scope,sociological grounding and terminology, presenting both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, as you might expect, so doing expounding on independent and combined effects, the chapters bolster one another's arguments. Strengths: Evidence-based and thoughtfully argued; explicitly recognizes Latin America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, South Africa; different scholars include technical details, interviews with resistance leaders, vivid accounts of their narrative lives. Weaknesses: Advances in theory required.
