Studying Charles Tilly (1929–2008), American sociologist, historian and political scientist, is essential for understanding political change and social conflict. His research focuses on how grassroots populations, through different forms of collective action, influence historical events by trying to improve the conditions of people's lives. This book is not only an homage to Tilly, but is also aimed at understanding and applying his thought. In each chapter, the authors, experts on Tilly's work, examine his concepts, theories, and methodological contributions, providing a richer understanding of them. In addition, this book is very contemporary. From the beginning of this century, mainly from 2011, important popular mobilizations, such as the Arab Spring and 15-M or “los indignados” (the indignant movement in Spain), gradually spread to other countries (the US, Yemen, Israel, etc.) in successive “Occupy” movements. The political mobilization of the grassroots movements are undergoing a resurgence, a process that Tilly would have wanted to study. This book can be a good guide for analyzing and understanding these movements.
In Margaret Blake's new contemporary romance Tilly's meeting up with her ex-husband is traumatic. Now her father has invited him in to their business, Tilly Teas. It means she is seeing far too much of him. He cheated on her and betrayed her in the worst possible way but perhaps, she has to admit, it was not entirely his fault. Tilly starts to see things from Marsh's point of view and that isn't good, for her, she hasn't changed and the one thing that brought her marriage tumbling down is still there. Tilly believes she can never love again but perhaps her heart doesn't know that.
Charles Fellows, mountaineer, national hero, and first class bastard is found murdered in the sea near his sailing yacht on the Cornish coast. Evan Briscoe is dispatched by Scotland Yard to investigate and finds motives a-plenty. Fellows was disliked, if not hated by the local populace… at least by the male population. Or was the root of the crime in the "Pantheon of Heroes" of which Fellows is a revered member? Sir Tony Castlefort, the only human to climb higher than Charles Fellows, and other members of the Pantheon insist his death was misadventure. As Briscoe ventures into the Pantheon he finds the gods that dwell there have feet of clay. Only Celia Fellows, Charles' lonely and unhappy sister, maintains that her brother was murdered. To his discomfort, Briscoe finds himself attracted to this strong-minded woman. Celia discovers that all heroes do not dwell in the Pantheon… and Briscoe finds something else… something far more personal… something he thought he'd never find…
A gripping, in-depth account of the 2011 Egyptian revolution, through the eyes of its youthful vanguard January 25, 2011, was a watershed moment for Egypt and a transformative experience for the young men and women who changed the course of their nation’s history. Tahrir’s Youth tells the story of the organized youth behind the mass uprising that brought about the spectacular collapse of the Mubarak regime. Who were these activists? What did they want? How did the movement they unleashed shape them as it unfolded, and why did it ultimately fall short of its goals? Rusha Latif follows the trajectory of the movement from the perspective of the Revolutionary Youth Coalition (RYC), a key front forged in Tahrir Square during the early days of the revolt. Drawing on firsthand testimonies and her own direct experience, she offers insight into the motives, hopes, strategies, successes, failures, and disillusionments of the movement’s leaders. Her account details the challenges these activists faced as they attempted to steer the movement they had set in motion and highlights the factors leading to their struggle’s defeat, despite its initial promise. Tahrir’s Youth questions the belief that Egypt’s revolution was spontaneous and leaderless. Timely and necessary, this study not only illuminates the uprising’s leadership dynamics but also demonstrates the need for imagining new modes of revolutionary organizing for the twenty-first century.
A new book in the Agatha Award-winning series by Edith Maxwell! Quaker midwife Rose Carroll must turn her investigative skills on her own family when a young woman’s murder stuns a New England community . . . Following a long betrothal, midwife Rose Carroll and her beloved David are finally celebrating their marriage with friends and relatives, when a most disturbing telegram interrupts the festivities: the young ward of Rose’s aunt has suffered a mysterious death, and Rose’s help is needed urgently on Cape Cod. Reluctantly agreeing to mix her honeymoon plans with murder, Rose embarks on an investigation that will expose family secrets and a community’s bigotry. As Rose does her best to comfort her aunt in her loss and also learn as much as possible about the poor young victim’s death, she discovers that each new clue points to a confounding list of suspects: a close friend of the victim who may have harbored secret resentments, an estranged brother of David’s with an unsavory reputation, and the son of a Native American midwife who supposedly led the young woman astray.
