Greg Martin leads the reader ably from the origins of social-movement scholarship in crowd theory, right through to the most interesting concerns today: globalization, the media, the geography of protest, emotions, narratives, and more. His integration of religious movements into how we study other social movements is especially welcome.- James M. Jasper, teaches sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York
This book is packed with interesting examples, from the role of black churches in the US civil rights movement, to Pussy Riot - from the Zapatistas to the Comfort Women that really bring concepts and theories to life. It is clearly written and will really help students understand what is at stake in social movement studies, dealing as it does, not just with well-developed themes such as resource mobilisation and culture, but also new topics including emotions, media and space. - Professor Kate Nash, Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, London
Understanding Social Movements offers an unusually comprehensive approach to the processes that ordinary people undergo, as they try to remake the worlds they live in. It starts with the foundations and takes us through the prospects for meaningful change in the future. The book is an asset for students and a challenge for citizens. - David S. Meyer, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Irvine, USA
There are only a handful of textbooks in social movements. This engagingly written book is unique in its interdisciplinarity, its comprehensive treatment of both American and European theories and its inclusion of movements in the global South, Europe and the Middle East, along with recent U.S. social movements, including the global justice, Occupy, and Tea Party movements.- Verta Taylor, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
Often proclaimed dead, coopted, institutionalized - in the new millennium social movements have been instead confirmed as a driving force of change in our societies. In this deep and broad assessment of social movement studies, their contributions and pitfalls, Greg Martin provides us with a rich tool kit of concepts and theories that will help us read contentious politics in the past, the present and the future. - Donatella della Porta, Director of Center on Social Movement Studies-Cosmos, European University Institute, Italy
In his new book, Greg Martin provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to social movements. The numerous illustrations from outside Europe and North America, and the attention to cultural and symbolic challenges alongside more political ones, represent a distinctive feature of this interesting and useful volume.
