5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for social movement research
If one is interested in the dynamics of the civil rights movement, then this book is a must read. Also a must read for anyone doing research in the field of social movements and especially if interested in the processes of content coding using annual indices.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a misguided book!
A lot of people consider this book a classic on social movements, but it provides no new research, offers no concepts original to McAdam, and sets up strawman opponents. Why is it still in print?

5.0 out of 5 stars great analysis, December 20, 2000
This review is from: Political Process and the Development of Black Insurgency, 1930-1970 (Paperback)
We first used this book in Dr. Skocpol's class in Chicago, & it has become an invaluable resource on how to study social movements. I often refer to it in class--along with other now-classic analyses--and a colleague is using it as required reading this coming Spring.
