New Society Publishers - Doing Democracy
The MAP Model for Organizing Social Movements By Bill Moyer, JoAnn McAllister, Mary Lou Finley and Steve Soifer Citizen activism has achieved many positive results.
http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/3694

Extractions: Title Author ISBN The MAP Model for Organizing Social Movements By Bill Moyer, JoAnn McAllister, Mary Lou Finley and Steve Soifer Citizen activism has achieved many positive results. But the road to success for social movements is often complex, usually lasting many years, with few guides for evaluating the precise stage of a movement's evolution to determine the best way forward. Doing Democracy provides both a theory and working model for understanding and analyzing social movements, ensuring that they are successful in the long term. Beginning with an overview of social movement theory and the MAP (Movement Action Plan) model, Doing Democracy outlines the eight stages of social movements, the four roles of activists, and case studies from the civil rights, anti-nuclear energy, Central America, gay/lesbian, women's health, and globalization movements. About the Contributor(s) The late Bill Moyer spent more than 40 years as a full-time theorist, writer, organizer, consultant, educator and participant in social movements focused on a wide-variety of issues on three continents. The originator of the MAP Model, Moyer gave training courses and workshops to over 20,000 people.
The Open Door Web Site : History : The Revolutions Of 1830 And 1848
Short article on the 1830 July Days and 1848 revolution in France.
http://www.saburchill.com/history/chapters/empires/0040.html

Extractions: Gallery The Revolutions of 1830 and 1848 In your French history lessons you will have learned of these revolutions because in each case they began in France and spread to many parts of Europe. It was during the "July Days" of 1830 that a Bourbon monarch, Charles X, was overthrown and replaced by another king, Louis-Philippe d'Orléans. But the French example was followed in many parts of Europe in the same year. These all failed, with the exception of Belgium, which managed to obtain its independence from the Dutch in 1830. In Poland, Italy and Germany the nationalist and liberal revolts were mercilessly crushed. 1848 was another year of revolutions in Europe. Once again they were sparked off by a revolution in Paris which overthrew the "July Monarchy" of Louis-Philippe, but very soon revolt had spread to other parts of Europe. Although these nationalist and liberal revolutions all failed, with the exception of the French, Europe would never be the same again. The years 1815 to 1848 have often been called "the years of Metternich". Klemens von Metternich was the Austrian chancellor d g this period and he was, without doubt, the greatest statesman in Europe. His ambition had been to destroy all traces of revolutionary change in Europe introduced since 1789. He was the arch-conservative who was violently opposed to any kind of reform and who succeeded in imposing his ideas on the rest of Europe, helped by the Holy Alliance.

Confronting entrenched social inequality and inadequate access to resources, women across Africa are working with determination and imagination to improve their material conditions and to blaze a clear path for their daughters and granddaughters. The 31 African-born contributors to African Women Writing Resistance move beyond the linked dichotomies of victim/oppressor and victim/heroine to present their experiences of resistance in full complexity: they are at the forward edge of the tide of women's empowerment that, at the start of the 21st century, is moving across the African continent.
The Revolution Of 1848 In France

Extractions: Robinson's Note: The provisional government established in Paris after the mob had attacked the Tuileries, February 24, 1848, immediately issued the following proclamation. In the name of the French people: A reactionary and oligarchical government has just been overthrown by the heroism of the people of Paris. That government has fled, leaving behind it a trail of blood that forbids it ever to retrace its steps. The blood of the people has flowed as in July; but this time this noble people shall not be deceived. It has won a national and popular government in accord with the rights, the progress, and the will of this great and generous nation. A provisional government, the result of pressing necessity and ratified by the voice of the people and of the deputies of the departments, in the session of February 24, is for the moment invested with the task of assuring and organizing the national victory. It is composed of Messieurs Dupont (de l'Eure), Lamartine, Cremieux, Arago (of the Institute), Ledru-Rollin, Garnier-Pages, Marie, Armand Marrast, Louis Blanc, Ferdinand Flocon, and Albert (a workingman).

Revolutions Of 1848 In The German States - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Â Â (Redirected from The Revolutions of 1848 in the German states Jump to: navigation search Germania , by Philipp Veit Cheering revolutionaries in Berlin , on March 19, 1848 The 1848 Revolutions were a series of loosely coordinated protests and rebellions in the German Confederation which sought to challenge the status quo. The revolutions, which stressed pan-Germanism , emphasised popular discontent with the traditional, largely autocratic political structure of the thirty-nine independent states of the Confederation that inherited the German territory of the Holy Roman Empire . Furthermore, they demonstrated the popular desire for increased political and social freedom democracy , and national unity within liberal principals of socioeconomic structure. The ground work of the 1848 uprising in Germany was laid long beforehand. Hambacher Fest of 1832, for instance, reflected growing unrest in the face of heavy taxation and political censorship. The

Revolutions Of 1848
Includes a background article, biographies of major personalities, timeline, questions and two essays.
http://www.pvhs.chico.k12.ca.us/~bsilva/projects/revs/1848essy.html

Extractions: Personalities Timeline Questions Essay 1 ... Essay 2 From 1848 to 1852, Europe was convulsed by a series of Revolutions which all ultimately failed by 1852 with the restoration of either dictatorship or the reestablishment of conservative rule. The revolutions started in a part of Italy in 1848, but the real spark was in France in 1848. From there, as news spread, revolutions broke out in other parts of Italy, Prussia, Austria and the German Confederation. However, internal divisions based on nationalism and on a radical/liberal split soon weakened the revolutionaries. By 1852 conservatives had taken advantage of the weaknesses and regained power. In France, Napoleon Bonaparate's nephew, Louis Napoleon took power in a coup d'etat. The Revolutions first started out in France 1848 where the people wanted universal suffrage which was led by Louis Blanc. King Louis Philippe was overthrown and Louis Blanc's revolution established the second republic. The February revolution in France gave ideas to other countries in Europe which in turn started other revolutions. The February revolution in France also gave to Liberals in the German states the idea to make a proposal for a unified German country with a national parliament. But the old order was restored because the provisional government couldn't decide on a constitution for the new government. The Italian states of Europe also had a revolution which made Pope Pius IX flee Italy. This gave a leader of unification, Gieuseppe Mazzini the chance to unify Italy. This plot of Mazzini was a failure because of the Italians overwhelming protectiveness of their independence.

SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Readings on Their Emergence, Mobilization, and Dynamics First Edition Doug McAdam (Editor), University of Arizona David A. Snow (Editor), University of Arizona
http://www.roxbury.net/socialmovements.html

Extractions: David A. Snow (Editor), University of Arizona ISBN: 0-935732-86-1 Examination Copy Purchase Book McAdam and Snow's Social Movements: Readings on Their Emergence, Mobilization, and Dynamics is intended for use in courses on social movements, collective behavior, and political sociology. The reader is distinctive in several respects: The book is organized sequentially and logically, to facilitate understanding of the dynamics of social movementsfrom their emergence, through the micromobilization process and tactical action, to outcomes and consequences. This reader is not wedded to a single approach, but exposes students to both resource mobilization and cultural thinking about social movements. Thought-provoking introductions to each section guide the reader and ease instruction by providing a modular "road map" that highlights key issues and the major contributions of each selection. This lends internal cohesiveness and structure to the articles. The book covers a wide range of social movements, including the civil rights, women's, pro-choice, and animal rights movements. Also included are works on other types of collective action, such as riots and revolution. A comprehensive appendix provides instructors with alternatives for using the selections.

JPRI Occasional Paper No. 18
Describes the life of Ono and her generation in Japan, as well as the meshing with John Lennon and the Sixties social movement.
http://www.jpri.org/publications/occasionalpapers/op18.html

Extractions: Originality, it is said, usually means coming from somewhere else. "Somewhere else" can be many places: another time, another culture, the other gender, despair, madness anywhere, except familiar here and everyday now. John Lennon has told of his first magical meeting with Yoko Ono, when he wandered into her one-woman show at the Indica Gallery in London on November 9, 1966, a pivotal date in the ferment remembered as the Nineteen Sixties, and was intrigued, as well as mystified, by what he saw. Invited by Ono to pay five shillings to hammer a nail into a piece of plain wood shown as artwork, Lennon made a counter-offer: "Well, I'll give you an imaginary five shillings and hammer an imaginary nail in." "That's when we really met," Lennon later recalled. "That's when we locked eyes and she got it and I got it, and, as they say in all the interviews we do, the rest is history." Why? The explanation lies half-buried under the decades of Japan's new prosperity. By 1966 Lennon, was emerging as one of the gurus of the disillusioned, questing mood called "The Sixties" in the West. Yoko Ono had been there, spiritually, long before. Something very like the mood of the Sixties first took shape in Tokyo in the late 1940's; Japan's confused, hungry years were the "somewhere else" Yoko Ono came from. Even then, and there, it was the amalgam, rather than any of its elements, that was really new. Radical pacifism and politicized feminism had both erupted in spiritually defeated Europe after the First World War, where they had found artistic voices in the instant arts of gesture and performance, made somewhat more durable by photographs, and in the perversely intellectual anti-intellectualism of Dada.

Movements and Media (Chair: Thomas Olesen - THO@ps.au.dk Social movement organizations lack the institutional, military and economic resources that their opponents typically control. This, as we know, does not mean that they do not sometimes get what they want. It is thus useful to think of their power as a public and discursive type of power. Movements exercise power when they are able to activate public debate and put their opponents on the defensive through a combination of hard facts and moral arguments. This is a public process and therefore one that involves the media as central actors. This session invites papers that explore the relationship between movements and media from a variety of angles. It especially welcomes papers that address these questions: How can we theorize the power of social movement organizations from a public and media perspective? Comparatively speaking, how do different national media and political structures impact the relationship between media and movements? The literature seems to suggest that the media generally distort and misrepresent movement messages, but is this always the case? Under what conditions may media and movements co-operate or at least work toward the same goals?
The Cycle Of War And Economics
The relationship between economics, social movements, and wars and, how they fuel each other.
http://www.warcycle.com/

Extractions: This website was set up in 2006 with one aim: to expose and explain the fundamental cause of war. Two books followed. As the world emerges from the financial crash of 2008 one might revisit two earlier, quite similar 'crashes', in 1857 and 1907. Both occurred within rising economies; both happened just before Point E on the figure (which we are now approaching); and both were followed by a devastating war. Why? What will happen at and after Point E? Why are any ongoing wars likely to end before Point F? This book presents a short, illustrated account of the Mountain Meadows Massacre which occurred in September 1857, and compares it to the similar massacre in Cawnpore in June 1857. (Both massacres seem to have occurred at point E on the figure.) Books may be purchased using a credit card. PayPal membership is not essential â€“ it just speeds things up.

Extractions: Revolutions of 1848 Czech Republic Table of Contents The Paris revolution of February 1848 precipitated a succession of liberal and national revolts against autocratic governments. Revolutionary disturbances pervaded the territories of the Austrian Empire, and Emperor Ferdinand I (1835-48) promised to reorganize the empire on a constitutional, parliamentary basis. In the Kingdom of Hungary, the 1848 revolution temporarily toppled Hapsburg absolutism, and there was an attempt at establishing a liberal constitutional government. Conflict soon ensued between the Hungarians and several other nationalities as to how Hungary was to be restructured. Hungarian liberals like Louis Kossuth, who favored the overthrow of the Hapsburgs and an independent Hungary, were at the same time opposed to the aspirations of the non-Hungarian nationalities. The liberals sought to create a national state solely for the Hungarians. It was within this struggle that the Slovak National Council, under Stur's leadership, drafted the "Demands of the Slovak Nation." These included the establishment of separate national legislative assemblies and the right of each national group to employ its own language in the Hungarian Diet, in administration, and in the education system. The petition was presented to the Hungarian Diet in May 1848. When it was rejected, armed conflict broke out, and the Slovaks were crushed by Hungarian troops. Disappointed by the Hungarians and hoping to take advantage of the conflict between the imperial government and the Hungarians, Slovak patriots turned to the imperial government, requesting recognition of Slovakia as an independent crown land within the Austrian Empire. But after the Hungarian revolt was suppressed with the aid of Russian troops
