Charles Tilley, Lesley J. Wood
From First Edition:
CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE
“Tilly is able to view history from an exceptional height in this
short, highly readable book without losing attention to historical
complexities. This book presents the lifelong thinking of a leading
scholar and sets important research agendas for students of social
movements in the twenty-first century. Essential for all
collections.”
—CHOICE
“Takes its readers on a tour of modern world history to show that
within less than two and a half centuries a distinct political form
arrived—the social movement. . . . Tilly’s recognition of changing
political environments for movements is a step forward to looking
at how this institutionalized political form actually hinges on the
state-society relationship in contemporary societies.”
