We the People: Social Protests Movements and the Shaping of American Democracy

Autor Bryan Warde
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2020
We the People: Social Protest Movements and the Shaping of American Democracy uses a historical and a contemporary focus to demonstrate the integral role that social protest movements play in challenging social and structural inequality along the intersecting axis of identity politics, socioeconomic status and ability, and why social protest movements should matter to social workers.

The book examines how social protest movements influence progressive social policy and elucidates the social conditions that give rise to protest, how protest creates social movements, and the functions and goals of social protest movements. By exploring various theoretical perspectives, it brings both a historical and a contemporary lens to the examination of social protest movements and elucidates the critical role that social protest movements play in American democracy.

With a discussion of emerging trends and the future of social protest movements, We the People explains and offers strategies for both students and social workers to develop the skills to think critically and take part in social protest movements as policy practitioners.

Recenzii

Dr. Bryan Warde has not just written a social policy book, he has reminded us all of social work’s roots in advocacy and, when necessary, protest. With pertinent case examples, he explores how social protest movements have shaped America and that we as social workers must be in the forefront fighting for justice and equality. A remarkable book for students, practitioners, and academics.
Carl Mazza, Chair of the Social Work Department at Lehman College

Descriere

For social work students with little to no understanding of social protest movements, this book illuminates the critical role that social protest movements have, not only in shaping American democracy and the policy-making process, but also in challenging social and structural inequality on both the individual and system level.
