Social Movements: The Structure of Collective Mobilization

Rate this book
Social Movements cleverly translates the art of collective action and mobilization by excluded groups to facilitate understanding social change from below. Readers learn the core components of social movements, the theory and methods used to study them, and the conditions under which they can lead to political and social transformation.

This book is the first to be organized along the lines of the major subfields of social movement scholarship--framing, movement emergence, recruitment, and outcomes--to provide comprehensive coverage in a single core volume.

Features
With this book, readers deepen their understanding of movement dynamics, methods of investigation, and dominant theoretical perspectives, all while being challenged to consider their own place in relation to social movements.

Overall good introduction to collective mobilization and its' history but written from a white, westernized lens

Sosyal hareketlerin dünya siyasetindeki etkisi her geçen gün daha belirgin bir hale geliyor. Kaliforniya Üniversitesinde öğretim görevlisi olan Paul Almeida’nın son kitabı da son yıllarda Trump Karşıtı mobilizasyon ve kadın hareketi gibi sosyal hareketlerden yola çıkarak akademik literatürün ele aldığı teorik ve metodolojik soruları tartışıp, vakalar aracılığı ile onları tanıtıyor. Kitabın bir bölümü "tehdit" kavramının aktörleri harekete geçirme potansiyeli olduğunun altını çiziyor ve farklı tehdit türlerini tartışıyor. Bence kitabın temel eksikliği, demokratik olmayan rejimler bölümünün sınırlı olması ve seçtiği vakaların ona odaklanmaması. Yine de bu kitap hem literatüre yeni başlayanlar için hem de lisans seviyesinde kullanım için ideal bir kaynak.
