Includes bibliographies and index.The structuring of protest -- The Unemployed Workers' Movement -- The Industrial Workers' Movement -- The Civil Rights Movement -- The Welfare Rights Movement."Four mass movements of the poor are analyzed.

The industrial workers' and the civil rights movements gained more than the others, and it is the central concern of the authors to show that differences in the use of mass defiance help to explain variations in success"--Book jacket.
