Items related to Social Movements: A Cognitive Approach
Synopsis
In recent years, social movements have become a popular subject of sociological investigation. This book considers the subject, integrating American and European approaches. The authors see social movements in terms of a social theory of knowledge that is both politically and historically informed. Social movements are, they argue, forms of activity whereby individuals create new kinds of social identities not only for themselves, but for the societies of which they are a part. The book is particularly concerned with processes which transform groups of individuals into social movements, and which give social movements their active orientation. Social movements from different periods and cultures are examined comparatively.

′Readable and well documented. I would recommend Eyerman and Jamison′s book to all scholars who are interested in social movements.′ ANZJS
From the Back Cover
Social movements are now a popular subject of sociological investigation. This timely book offers a new approach to the study of such movements, integrating American and European approaches. The authors are particularly concerned with the processes which transform groups of individuals into social movements, and which give social movements their active orientation. They examine the success and failure of social movements in comparative terms, comparing different historical periods as well as political cultures.
