What is Poor People's Movements : Why They Succeed, How They Fail about?

"Four mass movements of the poor are analyzed. Two are drawn from the Great Depression: the movement of the unemployed that gave rise to the Workers' Alliance of America, and the movement of industrial workers that produced the CIO. And two are drawn from the postwar period: the Southern Civil Rights movement, and the movement of welfare recipients that generated the National Welfare Rights Organization. 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
