Opis

The aim of the book is to highlight and begin to give "voice" to some of the notable "silences" evident in recent years in the study of contentious politics. The coauthors hope to redress the present topical imbalance in the field. In particular, the authors take up seven specific topics in the volume: the relationship between emotions and contention; temporality in the study of contention; the spatial dimensions of contention; leadership in contention; the role of threat in contention; religion and contention; and contention in the context of demographic and life-course processes.

Recenzje

'If one were selecting an all star line-up of senior social movement scholars, the seven authors of Silence and Voice in the Study of Contentious Politics would comprise the nucleus of the first team … each chapter contains insight and novel ideas …'. Mobilization
