About this title

Synopsis

The pieces collected here offer a stimulating, empirically grounded survey of North American collective behaviour, popular mobilizations, and social struggles. What emerges is Palmer's sustained reflection on long-standing interpretive historical problems of class formation, the dynamics of social change, and how popular social movements arise and relate to law, the state, and existing cultural contexts.
