Berger examines some of the most dynamic social movements across half a century: black liberation, Puerto Rican independence, Native American sovereignty, Chicano radicalism, white antiracist and working-class mobilizations, pacifist and antinuclear campaigns, and earth liberation and animal rights. Berger's encyclopedic knowledge of American social movements provides a rich comparative history of numerous social movements that continue to shape contemporary politics. The book also offers a little-heard voice in contemporary critiques of mass incarceration. Rather than seeing the issue of America's prison growth as stemming solely from the war on drugs, Berger locates mass incarceration within a slew of social movements that have provided steep challenges to state power. -- taken from publisher website. 650 0 $a Imprisonment $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Political prisoners $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Prisoners $z United States. 650 0 $a Prisons $z United States. 650 0 $a Social movements $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Political prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069636 650 7 $a Prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077103 650 7 $a Prisons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077326 650 7 $a Social movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122657 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190726011903.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C88DFFB8AF6A11E9816CD31097128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
