Book excerpt: In librarianship today, we encourage voices from our field to join conversations in other disciplines as well as in the broader culture.

From movement archives to zine collections, international solidarity to public library programming, oral histories to email lists, prisons to protests - and beyond - this book is a look into the projects and pursuits of activist librarianship in the early 21st century.

Download or read book What is a Social Movement written by Hank Johnston and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social movements play a central role in the scope and direction of social change. They were instrumental in the creation of the modern state and, today, are major forces in politics and culture. Environmentalism, gay rights, alterglobalization, and Islamic fundamentalism are all movements with far-reaching impacts on contemporary society. What is a Social Movement? traces how the study of movements such as these - of their structures, their ideas, and their repertoires of protest - have grown in recent years to become a major focus in the social sciences. It deftly navigates the organizational, ideational, and cultural complexity of political and social movements, and offers a succinct but comprehensive overview of the hows, whys, and wheretofores of studying them. The book analyzes how politics and culture frequently intersect as people participate in movements that call for change and pursue group interests. By focusing on movement organizations and networks, on what they do, and how they articulate their ideas of justice and collective interests, What is a Social Movement? lays the essential groundwork for understanding this significant and exciting field of research, where it came from, and where it is headed.

Download or read book Party Responses to Social Movements written by Daniela R. Piccio and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the West, the explosion of social movement activity since the late 1960s has constituted a “participatory revolution” that has posed profound challenges for formal political parties. Through an analysis of new interviews, institutional documents, and a host of other largely unexploited sources, Daniela R. Piccio provides a rich and empirically grounded exploration of the wide-ranging responses to these movements. Focusing on Italy and the Netherlands since the 1970s, Party Responses to Social Movements demonstrates how political parties have incorporated the demands of movements to a surprising extent, even as both have grappled with fundamental and inevitable tensions between their respective roles and aims.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Library and Social Movements: A List of Material Obtainable Free or at Small Expense It is of course generally conceded that the day has gone by when the library can be a store-house of the classics and of standard literature and nothing more. It is not enough that to these it adds literature that refreshes and amuses, poetry that pleases, and art that elevates. The librarian is not through when to these she adds work with children, with schools, with women's clubs. Every one of these features of library work is important, is indispensable, and must be present in every library. We must remember that the world, politically, economically and socially is traveling at a (tremendous rate. Methods of government, of business, of industries, of education, have changed essentially during even the last ten years. Political parties are striving to accomplish different things by different means. Legislators are invoking new devices to regulate human affairs. The universities, particularly in all branches of learning relating to the humanities, are occupying a field almost unknown a few years since. With the world of which it is a part moving at this gait, the library must move with it or drop behind. The chances are that if a library is being conducted as it was ten years ago, with the same methods, and the same material, it is at least nine years behind the times. As a part of this progress has come the growth of an appreciation of every individuals duty to society. Under this conception, no man is at liberty to ignore the fact that he is responsible for the welfare of those with whom he comes in contact, that he shares with others the responsibility for the general condition of affairs; that it is just as much his duty to serve society as it is to serve himself or his family. This sense of social responsibility has resulted in many important social movements. These modern movements have for their ultimate aim the good of the individual, separately and in the aggregate. They seek to care for the physical, mental and moral welfare of the individual. They seek to improve housing conditions, to care for health, to prevent tuberculosis and other similar diseases. They protect the man as he works by providing for hygienic conditions in factories, requiring safety devices, forbidding child labor, regulating the hours of labor for women, and in every way seeking to make wholesome conditions in the industries. These movements seek also to make the worker a more efficient industrial instrument, give him a training in trade schools, in agricultural colleges, in industrial schools, in university extension work and correspondence schools.
