Social Movements, 1768 - 2018 Zusammenfassung

Social Movements, 1768 - 2018 Charles Tilly

Social Movements 1768-2018 provides the most comprehensive historical account of the birth and spread of social movements. Renowned social scientist Charles Tilly applies his synthetic theoretical skills to explain the evolution of social movements across time and space in an accessible manner full of historical vignettes and examples. Tilly explains why social movements are but a type of contentious politics to decrease categorical inequalities. Questions addressed include what are the implications of globalization and new technologies for social movements, and what are the prospects for social movements? The overall argument includes data from mobilizations in England, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, China, India, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, Iraq, and Kazakhstan.

This new edition has been fully updated and revised with young researchers and students in mind. New case studies focus on social movements in Mexico, Spain, and the United States including Black Lives Matter, immigrants rights struggles, The Indignados, the Catalan movement for independence, #YoSoy132, Ayotzinapa43, mass incarceration and prisoner rights, and more. Timelines are included to familiarise the reader with the events discussed and discussion questions are framed to increase understanding of the implications, limits, and importance of historical and ongoing social movements.

Social Movements, 1768 - 2018 Bewertungen

This new edition of Tillys excellent book is much more than a simple update. Castaneda very helpfully combines the historical and theoretical complexity of Tillys original monograph with the accessibility of an undergraduate textbook to produce in one small space almost everything a course on social movements needs. The addition of new contemporary case studiesthoughtfully chosen and analyzed here and written collaboratively with Castanedas studentsbrings to life Tillys conceptual framework and provides a ready-made lesson plan to teach this framework for social movement analysis to graduate and undergraduate students. The cases are international in scope and include a focus on the role of social media and the internet where these new technologies have played important roles in movement mobilization. This new edition has also expanded the original chapter discussion questions and added a whole new set of research questions for the case studies that are guaranteed to generate good classroom discussions and interesting essays. Highly recommended! Rebecca Overmyer-Velazquez, Whittier College

Charles Tilly (1929-2008) was one of our most insightful and imaginative analysts of social movements and related forms of political contention. His remarkable knowledge of contentious politics spanned centuries and continents. This accessible volume introduces readers to Tilly's ideas about the historical invention and global spread of social movements. And in this edition Tilly's students (and their students) bring the story right up to the present, drawing on Tilly's concepts to make sense of collective protest in the 21st century, including the immigrant rights movement, the Indignados and Occupy movement, and the Black Lives Matter movement. This volume will interest readers new to social movements as well as practiced scholars. Jeff Goodwin, New York University

This new edition of Social Movements builds on Charles Tilly and Lesley J. Woods now-classic work. Tillys position on what social movements are, how they operate, and whyand crucially, how they relate to other kinds of political action and what social movements are notas ever provides needed clarity in an otherwise often-muddy field. Through a case-study approach, Ernesto Castaneda now builds a new story onto the already-impressive edifice: a guide for contemporary students to how Tillys approach can help us to make sense of whats going on in contemporary movements, and also to see what might be changing in the landscape of contentious politics. John Krinsky, City University of New York
