Recenzje

"What a difference a decade can make! The first edition of this wonderful introduction to social-movement theory appeared before Trump was elected. The new edition therefore includes more on the resurgence of rightwing and hate groups, on Black Lives Matter, and the increasing intensity of online politics and surveillance. It gives a fair hearing to a range of theories: an excellent text for courses and the general reader."
James M. Jasper, author of The Art of Moral Protest Culture, Biography, and Creativity in Social Movements (1997)

"Greg Martin’s text provides thorough historical overview of both the development of social movements and the growth of ways to make sense of them. Social Movements and Protest Politics is global in approach, theoretically engaged, and filled with vivid illustrations of key ideas. A valuable introduction, it is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to understand and maybe influence the development of contemporary social movement politics.
David S. Meyer, Professor of Sociology, Political Science and Planning, Policy, and Design, University of California, Irvine, USA
