Social Movements, Protest, and Contention Series, volume 30

Movements for social change are by their nature oppositional, as are 
those who join change movements. This volume offers new scholarship that 
explores how people negotiate identity within social movements and 
examines issues of diversity and uniformity among social movement 
participants.

"Scholarship on collective identity has tended to under-theorize issues 
of difference and conflict-Identity Work in Social Movements remedies 
that lack beautifully. A significant and unique collection."-Nancy
