{"product_id":"the-roots-of-radicalism-craig-calhoun-9780226090863","title":"The Roots of Radicalism: Tradition, the Public Sphere, and Early Nineteenth-Century Social Movements","description":"The story of the rise of radicalism in the early nineteenth century has often been simplified into a fable about progressive social change. The diverse social movements of the era--religious, political, regional, national, antislavery, and protemperance--are presented as mere strands in a unified tapestry of labor and democratic mobilization. Taking aim at this flawed view of radicalism as simply the extreme end of a single dimension of progress, Craig Calhoun emphasizes the coexistence of different kinds of radicalism, their tensions, and their implications. \u003ci\u003eThe Roots of Radicalism\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the importance of radicalism's links to preindustrial culture and attachments to place and local communities, as well the ways in which journalists who had been pushed out of \"respectable\" politics connected to artisans and other workers. Calhoun shows how much public recognition mattered to radical movements and how religious, cultural, and directly political--as well as economic--concerns motivated people to join up. Reflecting two decades of research into social movement theory and the history of protest, \u003ci\u003eThe Roots of Radicalism\u003c\/i\u003e offers compelling insights into the past that can tell us much about the present, from American right-wing populism to democratic upheavals in North Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Calhoun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226090868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226090863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2012","brand":"Craig Calhoun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913419882751,"sku":"9780226090863","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3d6e23e1-a6cc-4fd5-94c0-cdbb494b92eb.jpg?v=1680620308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-roots-of-radicalism-craig-calhoun-9780226090863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
