One of the finest pieces of social historical analysis on movement politics! Grassroots Resistance offers readers a synthesis for the study of social movements and social change in twentiethcentury America. Ordinary men and women occupy the foreground as movers of events rather than observers of history as Goldberg analyzes eight significant movements including the Industrial Workers of the World, the Ku Klux Klan, the Communist Party, and the John Birch Society. The book blends the focus of a historical perspective with the insights of sociological theory to give readers both the necessary dimensions of time and human involvement and a theoretical lens through which to look at pieces of the past.Titles of related interest also available from Waveland Press: Bowers et al., The Rhetoric of Agitation and Control, Third Edition (ISBN 9781577666141); Miller, Introduction to Collective Behavior and Collective Action, Third Edition (ISBN 9781478600572); and Stewart et al., Persuasion and Social Movements, Sixth Edition (ISBN 9781577667773).
