Trade Review
"Atkinson casts a wide net in reviewing methods for studying activism in this unique book, and in fact he ends up going far beyond research methods to help us understand how social movements work and why they are so important. He is very good at raising provocative questions." -- -James M. Jasper CUNY Graduate Center, author of The Art of Moral Protest
