Includes historical data & persuasive interpretations to suggest that communal integration is a resource, not an obstacle, to mobilization for political protest. Each movement is analyzed as to its background, origins & development, beliefs & activities, basis of support, attitudes of agents of social control, and a later phase of the movement.
