This book offers a new approach to the study of social movements. Integrating American and European approaches, Eyerman and Jamison argue that social movements are forms of activity whereby individuals create new kinds of social identities not only for themselves but for the societies of which they form a part. They examine the success and failure of social movements in comparative terms, both between historical periods and political cultures, giving special attention to the American civil rights movement, environmental movements, and recent form of collective protest in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The result is a study which develops major theoretical innovations as well as integrating a wide range of empirical material.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [174]-181) and index.

CHOICE Review
A first-rate effort to integrate the study of social movements. The authors offer an alternative to the two main approaches in the field--individualistic (social psychological) and organizational (resource mobilization)--by developing a middle-range theory based on the concept of cognitive praxis. Borrowing from critical theory and the sociology of knowledge, Eyerman and Jamison have written a pathbreaking book that simultaneously places previous theories of collective behavior in sociohistorical perspective while developing their own cognitive approach to social movements. In the process the authors share their insights on social movements in the US and Europe, providing interesting cross-cultural analyses of the environmental movement, student movement, and other " As a test case of their cognitive approach they evaluate the American Civil Rights Movement and offer a compelling reconceptualization. This very readable study is both helpful to beginning students as a critical overview of the field and thought-provoking for professionals. College, university, and public libraries. P.
