Conflict in social movements is too often misunderstood as being an indication of a movement's impending demise rather than as important, reflexive work that allows movements to renew themselves. This book addresses this question of conflict in social movements head on. Using the Australian women's movement as a case study, the book makes a radical departure from much previous social movement theorising. Here, conflict between activists is seen as a significant and productive part of social movement activity and of feminist collective identity. Using original research with contemporary young...

Around the world there is a widespread view that women s movements are a thing of the past. In many Western countries, the movement is much less visible and influential today than it was during the heyday of the 1970s second wave, with smaller numbers attending protest events and a far less obvious femocrat presence in government.

This book examines approaches to reconciliation and peacebuilding in settler colonial, post-conflict, and divided societies.

The analysis provides a unique intervention in the field, one that significantly complicates received notions of reconciliation and transitional justice, and considers conflict transformation across the constitutional, institutional, and relational levels of society. Drawing on extensive...
This book examines approaches to reconciliation and peacebuilding in settler colonial, post-conflict, and divided societies.
The death of feminism is regularly proclaimed in the West. Yet at the same time feminism has never had such an extensive presence, whether in international norms and institutions, or online in blogs and social networking campaigns. This book argues that the women's movement is not over; but rather social movement theory has led us to look in the wrong places.
This book offers both methodological and theoretical innovations in the study of social movements, and analyses how the trajectories of protest activity and institution-building fit together. The rich empirical study, together...

It explores concepts and practices of reconciliation, considering the structural and attitudinal limits to such efforts in settler colonial countries. Bringing together contributions by the world s leading experts on settler colonialism and the politics of reconciliation, it complements current research approaches to the problems of responsibility and...
