Social movements continue to provide rich fodder for social researchers in the twenty-first century. Not all social movements are about positive social change and some movements have been and will be destructive. This reader gives range and depth to ongoing debates about what constitutes a social movement, what motivates actors to participate in social movements, and how social movements continue to evolve in post-industrial societies such as the United States.
