Beskrivning
With the ever-expanding boom of grassroots organizations and their growing importance for public policy, many organizations have been forced to rethink the effects of social, economic, and political disparities in society. This collection of essential essays and case studies will help activists, researchers, and students engage in this process of reevaluation and strategizing.Grassroots Social Action explores power negotiations and examines effective and ineffective community actions from the bottom up. Willie and his colleagues focus on the influence of common people in relation to hierarchical forms of social order. Paying special attention to nine case studies, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the chapters show the complementary relationship between dominant and subdominant people in public policymaking.Grassroots Social Action offers a critical and empowering assessment of how change occurs in communities.

Recensioner i media

In this captivating set of studies, Willie, Willard, and Ridini, present a full-blown picture of effective and ineffective grassroots social actions with real-life case studies. Grassroots Social Action characterizes these movements as being in solidarity with organizations and causes outside of their specific communities. We learn what's happening at the core of grassroots movements, and the importance of legitimization and implementation as concepts for measuring outcomes.
