"In Fair Share: Senior Activism, Tiny Publics, and the Culture of Resistance, Fine makes an excellent case for . . . an example of observing a social movement as something like a social club. The meso-level of society, a middle and peopled realm wherein local values, interactions, experiences, and stories produce the necessary sociality for pursuing activism, shines through the book."
