Product Description
Vietnam veterans in turmoil. The Environmental Movement. The New Left. These are just a few of the cases used by Wood and Jackson in this book's discussion of social movement dynamics-how and why social movements undergo change, and how they affect the larger society. But SOCIAL MOVEMENTS is much more than an exploration of dynamics with case illustrations. It's the first book to provide strong coverage of important theories of social movement development and participation as well. The result is a truly comprehensive and balanced presentation of material that's appropriate for sociology or political science courses in social movements, collective behavior, political movements, and social change. ...
