This book is designed for sociologists and political activists who want to understand the deeper psychological and social drivers behind protest and dissent. By focusing on the role of emotion in social movements, the text offers a wide-ranging approach that fills a significant void in current academic literature. Whether you are studying political science, sociology, or active community organizing, this volume provides the necessary framework to explore how feelings shape modern social struggle.
