Description
Contemporary Movements and Ideologies introduces the reader to major global social movements. It outlines the basic concepts and theories for the analysis of social movements and provides summaries of the ideas, goals, organization, strategies and social bases of eight major types of movements, i.e., civil rights and human rights, movements of religious faith and women's movements. The book provides a strong historical foundation in which to understand each type of movement. In addition, it examines movements as a response to the modern world and looks at how they are changing to adapt to the "post-modern" era world of globalized markets and cultural diversity. - from Amzon
