Following the modern Western animal rights movement over thirty years, Corey Lee Wrenn\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eapplies the sociological theory of Bourdieu, Goffman, Weber, and contemporary social movement researchers to examine structural conditions in the animal rights movement, facilitating factionalism in today's era of professionalized advocacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern social movements are dominated by bureaucratically oriented nonprofits, a special arrangement that creates tension between activists and movement elites who compete for success in a corporate political arena. \u003ci\u003ePiecemeal Protest\u003c\/i\u003e examines the impact of nonprofitization on factionalism and a movement's ability to mobilize, resonate, and succeed. Wrenn's\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eexhaustive analysis of archival movement literature and exclusive interviews with movement leaders illustrate how entities with greater symbolic capital are positioned to monopolize claims-making, disempower competitors, and replicate hegemonic power, eroding democratic access to dialogue and decision-making essential for movement health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePiecemeal Protest\u003c\/i\u003e examines social movement behavior shaped by capitalist ideologies and state interests. As power concentrates to the disadvantage of marginalized factions in the modern social movement arena, \u003ci\u003ePiecemeal Protest\u003c\/i\u003e shines light on processes of factionalism and considers how, in the age of nonprofits, intra-movement inequality could stifle social progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Corey Lee Wrenn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472131672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472131679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020","brand":"Corey Lee Wrenn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076053823743,"sku":"9780472131679","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cfc16df-29a1-421d-9608-cb0cc1ebb87a.jpg?v=1685462911","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/piecemeal-protest-corey-lee-wrenn-9780472131679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
