Reviews for 20160201
Fillieule and Accornero have edited a timely volume for breaking down national silos in social movement research... As a sociology of sociology, the major thrust of the work is that context is of paramount importance: many factors contributed to why social movement theory has largely been more robust in the US than in Europe. Nevertheless, the material here prepares scholars around the globe for detailed, comparative studies of movements... Highly recommended. Choice
