Summary
In The Art of Moral Protest, James Jasper integrates diverse examples of protest--from nineteenth-century
boycotts to recent movements--into a distinctive new understanding of how social movements work. Jasper highlights
their creativity, not only in forging new morals but in adopting courses of action and inventing organizational
forms.
