Description
Even before the 2016 presidential election took place, groups and individuals angry at Donald Trump, and frightened about what a Trump presidency could mean, were taking to the streets. After the election, and particularly after he inaugural, the protests continued. Over time, the Resistance was joined by a broad variety of groups and embraced an increasing diversity of tactics. In The Resistance, David S. Meyer and Sidney Tarrow have gathered together a cast of eminent scholars to tackle the emergence of a volatile and diverse movement directed against the Trump presidency. Collectively, the contributors examine the origins and concerns of different factions of this movement, and evaluate their prospects for surviving and exercising political influence. Through a range of analytical and methodological approaches, The Resistance offers both an overview of the broad scope of the emerging movement and sharp analyses of the campaign as it works through the numerous crises that the Trump era has introduced.
Reviews / Votes
For now, we have this informative book as a guide to the contentious politics of this era. * Fabio Rojas, Indiana University, American Journal of Sociology * This volume will be required reading both for those simply trying to make sense of this current age of aggressive and polarized politics, and for students of social movements. In its ability to respond to the divisive politics of the era, the resistance will be a movement that garners substantial attention as we move forward-especially as we approach the 2020 presidential election. This book provides helpful insights into its complexity, the challenges it faces, and the important values and goals it espouses. * Holly J. McCammon, Vanderbilt University, Mobilization *More details
