Resisting Reagan: The U.S. Central America Peace Movement Paperback - 1996

by Christian Smith


From the publisher

A comprehensive analysis of the U.S. Central America peace movement, Resisting Reagan explains why more than one hundred thousand U.S. citizens marched in the streets, illegally housed refugees, traveled to Central American war zones, committed civil disobedience, and hounded their political representatives to contest the Reagan administration's policy of sponsoring wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador. Focusing on the movement's three most important national campaigns-Witness for Peace, Sanctuary, and the Pledge of Resistance-this book demonstrates the centrality of morality as a political motivator, highlights the importance of political opportunities in movement outcomes, and examines the social structuring of insurgent consciousness. Based on extensive surveys, interviews, and research, Resisting Reagan makes significant contributions to our understanding of the formation of individual activist identities, of national movement dynamics, and of religious resources for political activism.

From the rear cover

'Resisting Reagan' represents the bet tradition of social movement case studies. Combining rich and fact-filled description with insightful analysis, this book surely will be the definitive account of the U.S. Central America Peace Movement.
