Recenzje

'The shocking invasion of the capital last January 6th exposed the combustible confluence of movements and parties that currently disrupts politics in the United States. Movements and Parties, written by the foremost scholar of social movements, makes clear that the insurrection to overturn the 2020 presidential election, extraordinary as it was, drew on political forces that have long disrupted the nation. Masterfully integrating sophisticated theoretical insights and rich historical narrative, Sidney Tarrow illuminates the critical but under examined relationship between social activism and institutions – weaving a fascinating tale of insurgents and party leaders animating foundational struggles over American identity from the formative alliance between Republicans and abolitionists of the 1850s to the incursion of a 'social movement society' on contemporary party politics. A must read for anyone who wants to understand the role of movements and parties in the challenges that await American democracy.' Sidney M. Milkis, University of Virginia
