Social Change in Global Perspective
Mark Selden, Series Editor

Exploring the relationship between social change and social structures, this series
considers the theory, praxis, promise, and pitfalls of movements in global and
comparative perspective. The historical and contemporary social movements
considered here challenge patterns of hierarchy and inequality of race, gender, na-
tionality, ethnicity, class, and culture. The series will emphasize textbooks and
broadly interpretive synthetic works.
