Abstract:
"In this first volume in the Critical Studies on Latin America series, Joe Foweraker presents and clarifies the main theories of social movements. Based on over twenty-five years of grassroots research, Theorizing Social Movements combines the first full synopsis of social movement theory with a fully integrated account of social movement activity throughout Latin America." "Professor Foweraker reveals how social movements change individual and community life in Latin America and assesses their political impact on government policies, citizenship rights and the achievement of democracy rule. Including a specific focus on women's mobilisation. This is a cogent wide-ranging review of social struggle in Latin America."--BOOK JACKET.
