Protest by James Jasper

Every day around the world there are dozens of protests both large and small. Most groups engage the local police, some get media attention, and a few are successful.

James Jasper's Protest is a thorough, thoughtful, sophisticated, wide-ranging, and--if that weren't enough--wise handbook on, and for, the social movements on which the world so dearly counts
Todd Gitlin, Columbia University


In interpretations of social movements, emotions have often been pitted against strategic thinking, feelings against cognition, agency against structures. In this volume, James Jasper brilliantly shows instead how all these various elements are combined in the emergence and evolution of protest.
Donatella della Porta, European University Institute

James M. Jasper teaches sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
