Review
This is a superb volume. John Berg has assembled an impressive cast of authors to produce an exhaustive and timely survey of progressive political movements in the United States today. This will be essential reading for all students of social and political protest and for all those committed to progressive democratic politics.--Colin Hay, University of Birmingham, U.K.
Wondering what the so-called progressive groups have been doing in recent years? In this volume edited by John Berg, nine such organizations are nicely profiled by a variety of scholar-activists. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the world of 'leftist' activists and the causes they advocate in the new millennium. It is a must-read for all those who follow or study the role of groups in American politics.--Ronald J. Hrebenar, University of Utah, author of Interest Group Politics in America University of Utah, author of Interest Group Politics in Amer
Teamsters and Turtles is a useful, smooth-reading addition to any scholar's desk, and to any classroom text list. If radical (or at least progressive) practicality is a guide, this book is effective and appealing. . . . a lasting contribution that is unlikely to go out of print or become outdated in the near future.--Ken Collier, University of Regina
Promoting progressive movements for political, economic, and social changes, this book pursues the prospects for progressive political movements in the 21st century.--Public Administration Review
The chapters invoke a broad range of theoretical perspectives and employ a variety of forms of analysis. Recommended.--CHOICE
The case studies are informative, engaging, and follow a similar format, which is useful in making comparisons. This collection could work well in a social movements class.--Contemporary Sociology
Ambitious.--Logos: A Journal of Modern Society & Culture
A careful and informative volume on selected movements of the left, with an eye to updating the substantial work done on the movements of the 1960s and 70s. The essays in this collection are readable and accurate.--Political Studies Review
