"This book updates and adds to the classic "Social Movements of the Sixties and Seventies", showing how social movement theory has grown and changed from an earlier emphasis on collective behavior, to the resource mobilization approach, and currently to analyses that emphasize culture, ideology, and collective identity. Top social scientists combine insiders' insights with critical analyses to examine a wide variety of social movements active in the most recent U.S. cycle of protest. "Waves of Protest" is a must read for students of social movements, social change, political sociology, and American studies."
