Social Movements and Culture cover

Reflecting the recent surge of interest in culture, this volume brings together top researchers in the field of social movements whose work represents the major approaches to movement analysis from a cultural perspective. The contributors address such issues as various approaches to culture; how movements are affected by the culture of the larger society in which they act; and the internal cultures of these movements. The volume includes a critical survey of the cultural analysis of social movements, as well as a section on methodology.

Gamson, Boston College; Eric Hirsch, Providence College; Jane Jenson, University of Montreal; John Lofland, University of California, Davis; Alberto Melucci, University of Milan; Ann Swidler, University of California, Berkeley; Verta Taylor, Ohio State University; and Nancy Whittier, Smith College.
