Abstract "This book consists of 33 original descriptive chapters on major, contemporary social movements in the United States and around the world. Social movements are generally thought of as important agents of social, political, and cultural change. In some cases, the change sought is proactive and progressive in the sense of moving beyond the status quo or extant social, political, and cultural currents, as in the case of the Black Lives Matter movements and variants of the women's movement, like #MeToo, in the United States and elsewhere. In other cases, the change may be more reactive or regressive in the sense of seeking to preserve the status quo by resisting currents of change or by returning to an earlier idealized order, as with the Taliban movement in Afghanistan and remnants of ISIS in Syria and Iraq or various right-wing populist movements coursing through portions of the world, like the current MAGA movement in the United States"-- Provided by publisher.
