Includes bibliographical references and index. Theoretical and conceptual issues in effective community action / Charles V. Willie, David A. Willard, and Steven P. Ridini -- A perfect grassroots movement : the Montgomery bus boycott / Charles V.

Willie and his colleagues focus on the influence of common people in relation to hierarchical forms of social order. Paying special attention to nine case studies, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the chapters show the complementary relationship between dominant and subdominant people in public policymaking. This collection of essays and case studies will help activists, researchers, and students engage in this process of reevaluation and strategizing."--BOOK JACKET. |
