Reviews
"This is an accessible but thorough treatment of social movements presented in an engaging format. The coverage is broad yet thorough without becoming shallow. Meyer does an effective job of telling stories in an interesting manner and then integrating these stories with engaging theoretical discussion."--Steve Garrison, Midwestern State University

Synopsis
The Politics of Protest offers both a historical overview and an analytical framework for understanding social movements and political protest in American politics. Meyer shows that protest movements, an integral part of our nation's history from the Boston Tea Party to the Civil Rights Movement, are hardly confined to the distant past. He argues that protest movements in America reflect and influence mainstream politics and that in order to understand our political system--and our social and political world--we need to pay attention to protest. The Politics of Protest opens with a short history of social movements in the United States, beginning with the development of the American Republic and outlining how the American constitutional design invites protest movements to offer continual challenges. It then discusses the social impulse to protest, considers the strategies and tactics of social movements, looks at the institutional response to protest, and finally examines the policy ramifications. Each chapter includes a brief narrative of a key movement that illustrates the topic covered in that chapter., The Politics of Protest offers both a historical overview and an analytical framework for understanding social movements and political protest in American politics.

- a***m (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item was in the condition advertised, and the price was extremely reasonable. If I have any complaint, it’s that the item was shipped in only a bubble pack envelope of the same size, instead of something that would have provided better protection. But overall, this vendor is reputable, honest and diligent. (The item arrived in less than the projected time!!!) Very recommended to do your business with!
