The Black Power Movement and American Social Work

The Black Power movement has often been portrayed in history and popular culture as the quintessential "bad boy" of modern black movement-making in America. Yet this impression misses the full extent of Black Power's contributions to U.S. society, especially in regard to black professionals in social work. Relying on extensive archival research and oral history interviews, Joyce M. Bell follows two groups of black social workers in the 1960s and 1970s as they mobilized Black Power ideas, strategies, and tactics to change their national professional associations. Comparing black dissenters within the National Federation of Settlements (NFS), who fought for concessions from within their organization, and those within the National Conference on Social Welfare (NCSW), who ultimately adopted a separatist strategy, she shows how the Black Power influence was central to the creation and rise of black professional associations. She also provides a nuanced approach to studying race-based movements and offers a framework for understanding the role of social movements in shaping the non-state organizations of civil society.

movement a “ghetto-bred generation with reputations no larger than a single city
or neighborhood or even a particular block” (Goldman 1970, as cited in McAdam

The Diffusion of Social Movements

Actors, Mechanisms, and Political Effects

It is widely recognized that social movements may spread - or 'diffuse' - from one site to another. Such diffusion, however, is a complex and multidimensional process that involves different actors, networks, and mechanisms. This complexity has spawned a large body of literature on different aspects of the diffusion process, yet a comprehensive framework remains an elusive target. This book is a response to that need, and its framework focuses on three basic analytical questions. First, what is being diffused? Second, how does diffusion occur? Finally, what is the impact of diffusion on organizational development and shifts in the scale of contentious politics? This volume suggests that diffusion is not a simple matter of political contagion or imitation; rather, it is a creative and strategic process marked by political learning, adaptation, and innovation.

This book is a response to that need, and its framework focuses on three basic analytical questions. First, what is being diffused? Second, how does diffusion occur?

Understanding Social Movements

Theories from the Classical Era to the Present

In thirteen succinct chapters, Buechler traces movement theories from the classical era of sociology to the most recent examples of transnational activism. He identifies the socio-historical context, central concepts, and guiding logic of diverse movement theories, with emphasis on: Comparisons of Marx and Lenin; Weber and Michels; and Durkheim and LeBon The Chicago School of the inter-war period The political-sociological approaches of the 1950s The varieties of strain and breakdown theories at the dawn of the 1960s Major paradigm shifts caused by the cascade of 1960s social movements Vivid examples of movements worldwide and coverage of all major theorists Critiques, debates, and proposed syntheses dominating the turn of the 21st century Recent trends (such as cyberactivism and transnational movements) and their theoretical implications"

Rethinking Social Movements

Structure, Meaning, and Emotion

This landmark volume brings together some of the titans of social movement theory in a grand reassessment of its status. For some time, the field has been divided between a dominant structural approach and a cultural or constructivist tradition.. The gaps and misunderstandings between the two sides--as well as the efforts to bridge them--closely parallel those in the social sciences at large. This book aims to further the dialogue between these two distinct approaches to social movements and to show the broader implications for social science as a whole as it struggles with issues including culture, emotion, and agency.

Globalization and Social Movements

Islamism, Feminism, and the Global Justice Movement

This clear and concise book examines social movements and transnational networks in the context of globalization in all its forms economic, political, cultural, and technological alike. Deftly combining nuanced theory with rich empirical examples, leading scholar Valentine M. Moghadam focuses especially on three transnational social movements Islamism, feminism, and global justice. Now updated to explore the European anti-austerity protests, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street, the book considers the ways in which these socio-political protests were affected especially by the role of young people and social networking media. The book also includes a new chapter on the democratic nature of social movements, or the ways in which social movements contribute to democratization at both national and global levels. Defining globalization as a complex process in which the movement of capital, peoples, organizations, movements, and ideas takes on an increasingly international form, the author shows how growing physical and electronic mobility has helped to create dynamic global social movements. Exploring the historical roots of Islamism, feminism, and global justice, the book also shows how these movements have been stimulated by relatively recent globalization processes. Moghadam examines similarities and differences among the three movements, along with internal differentiation within each. Her argument is informed by feminist, world-systems, world polity, and social movement theories in a seamlessly integrated framework that will be essential reading for all students of globalization."

Children in Social Movements

Rethinking Agency, Mobilization and Rights

Children’s participation in social movements is presented through a theoretical typology consisting of strategic participants, participants by default and active participants. This range of participation accounts for the social location of children historically and internationally, calling for their inclusion into social movement research. Children are unresearched and untheorized participants within social movement literature. Providing rich detail of children’s participation through illustrative case studies, this book presents the ideal types of participation as grounded in their social movement activity. These cross cultural, historical and contemporary case studies include, whenever possible, children’s perspective in their own words. Utilizing insights from childhood studies on agency and rights of children enhances the understanding of social movement strategies and mobilization. Following the chapters on each type of participation, suggestions are provided for rethinking existing social movement theories to acknowledge child participants. Scholars and students of social movements and childhood studies, as well as within the field of sociology will find interest in the wide range of case studies presented of children in social movements. The discussion of how social movement theory might be applied to the types of participation is meant to inspire future research and expand analysis of children’s participation in social movements.

Providing rich detail of children’s participation through illustrative case studies, this book presents the ideal types of participation as grounded in their social movement activity.

Gerakan Pemuda Ansor

Dari Era Kolonial hingga Pascareformasi

Ansor bersama-sama dengan induknya, NU, adalah garda depan dalam melawan kecenderungan menguatnya politikidentitas yang mengatasnamakan agama, tatkala elemen-elemen lain dari bangsa ini seperti maju-mundur atau bahkan takut untuk menghadapinya. Pemikiran aswaja mendorong Ansor untuk menjadi moderat dan fleksibel baik dalam bidang politik maupun sosial. Sikap fleksibel itu memungkinkan Ansor dapat mempertahankan eksistensinya dalam berbagai situasi kekuasaan. Dalam bidang sosial, fleksibilitas itu membuat Ansor dapat membangun relasi dengan berbagai elemen masyarakat, seperti gerakan pemuda lainnya, beragam kelompok Islam, dan khususnya dengan kelompok minoritas. Di bidang ekonomi, fleksibilitas Ansor dapat menentukan pilihan untuk berkiprah dalam ekonomi kerakyatan di pedesaan sekaligus membangun jejaring dengan institusi-institusi besar ekonomi. ... perkembangan Ansor tidak terlepas dari dimensi-dimensi sosial-politik, baik dalam maupun luar negeri. Penggambaran konteks sosial-politik ini memperlihatkan bagaimana Ansor berkembang seiring dengan perjalanan Indonesia, yang juga tak lepas dari berbagai pengaruh luar maupun dalam. Keterkaitan dengan urusan-urusan atau isu-isu luar negeri selama beberapa waktu juga menunjukkan sisi internasional dari organisasi ini. Dengan demikian, Ansor kelihatannya tidak hanya memiliki nilai strategis bagi kekuatan politik di tanah air, tetapi juga berkembang karena hadirnya pengaruh-pengaruh yang bersumber dari perkembangan zaman. Hal inilah yang kemudian membentuk karakter Ansor.

Dalam bidang sosial, fleksibilitas itu membuat Ansor dapat membangun relasi dengan berbagai elemen masyarakat, seperti gerakan pemuda lainnya, beragam kelompok Islam, dan khususnya dengan kelompok minoritas.

Muhammadiyah Gerakan Pembaruan

Muhammadiyah sejatinya gerakan pembaruan. Gerakan Tajdid fil-Islam. Jika diperas hingga ke inti terdalam maka yang ditemukan dalam gerakan Islam yang didirikan oleh Kyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan ini ialah api pembaruan. Karakter pembaruan Muhammadiyah jauh lebih kuat ketimbang sifat Muhammadiyah yang lainnya. Teologi, ideologi, hingga model aksi gerakan Muhammadiyah berwatak pembaruan, yang bermuara pada modernisme atau reformisme Islam. Pembaruan itu diwujudkan dalam mendobrak kebekuan berpikir umat dengan membangun pemahaman Islam yang berkemajuan. Selain itu Muhammadiyah memelopori lahirnya sistem pendidikan Islam modern, pelayanan kesehatan dan sosial, pemberdayaan kaum miskin dengan gerakan Al-Ma'un, merintis gerakan Islam ke ruang publik melalui 'Aisyiyah, dan karya pembaruan lainnya yang membangkitkan kebangunan dunia Islam dan modernisasi kehidupan masyarakat. Pembaruan Muhammadiyah berangkat dari gagasan dasar al-ruju ila al-Quran wa al-Sunnah, yakni gerakan kembli kepada Al-Quran dan Sunnah Nabi. Langkahnya pemurnian Islam untuk menemukan ajaran yang otentik, sekaligus melahirkan Islam yang berkemajuan. Kendari sering disebut ad-hoc, pembaruan Muhammadiyah langsung atau tidak langsung telah menjadi alam pikiran (state of mind) mayoritas umat Islam, termasuk bagi mereka yang dulu menentangnya.

Muhammadiyah sejatinya gerakan pembaruan.
