Sinopsis

How do you make social movements matter in the classroom? This book moves beyond a purely theoretical approach, responding to the need to put students in the centre of the action. The 10 chapters follow the lifecycle of a social movement, and are enriched by bullet points, case studies, critical thinking questions, and interactive activities ready for use in seminars and workshops.

Readers will encounter:

  • Foundational and cutting-edge social movement theories such as resource mobilization, repertoires of contention, and direct social action;
  • Global case studies including Arab Spring, the South African anti-apartheid movement, and the Palestinian March of Return;
  • Unique ‘movement-building’ and 'movement-exploring' activities which prompt students to think like activists;
  • A focus on traditionally overlooked areas of social movement studies, like burnout, gendered division of labour, and prefiguration.

This book is perfect for undergraduate and postgraduate students across a range of disciplines including sociology, politics, organizational studies, and social psychology. The book is also a valuable resource for academics and activists interested in the subjects of social and political movements and protest.
