Organizing Urban America: Secular And Faithbased Progressive Movements (Volume 28) (Social Movements, Protest And Contention),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Collective action through organized social movements has long expanded American citizens rights and liberties. Recently, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has helped win living wage initiatives in more than 130 cities across the country. Likewise, congregationbased groups have established countless health, education, and other social programs at city and state levels. Despite modest budgets, these organizationsdifferent in their approach, but at the same time working for social changehave won billions of dollars in redistributive programs.Looking closely at this phenomenon, Heidi J. Swarts explores activist groups cultural, organizational, and political strategies. Focusing on ACORN chapters and church federations in St. Louis, Missouri, and San Jose, California, Swarts demonstrates that congregationbased organizing has developed an innovative cultural strategy, combining democratic deliberation and leadership development to produce a culture of commitment among its crossclass, multiracial membership. By contrast, ACORNs more homogeneous lowincome class base has a national structure that allows it to coordinate campaigns quickly, and its seasoned staff excels in tactical innovations. By making these ofteninvisible grassroots organizers evident, Swarts sheds light on factors that constrain or enable other social movements in the United States.Heidi J. Swarts is assistant professor of political science at Rutgers University.
