Moving Politics

In this first book to analyze the emergence, development, and decline of the direct-action AIDS movement ACT UP, Deborah B. Gould explores a factor that only recently has entered the sights of social movement scholars and is still largely ignored in the social sciences in general: emotion. An inquiry into the affective stimuli and blockages to political activism, Moving Politics provides an in-depth analysis of the emotional dimensions of contentious politics.

Deborah B. Gould is assistant professor of sociology at the University of Pittsburgh.
