Professor Corey Shdaimah publishes Research Handbook on Law, Movements, and Social Change
Daniel Thursz Distinguished Professor of Social Justice Corey Shdaimah publishes Research Handbook on Law, Movements, and Social Change with co-editors Steven Boutcher (Executive Officer, Law & Society Association) and Michael Yarbrough (John Jay College of Criminal Justice).
This timely Handbook features international and interdisciplinary contributions, chapters focus on democratic and authoritarian rule, social movement strategies, identities, social positions, and the relationship between narratives and power. This Research Handbook not only asks why movements succeed or fail, but more broadly how law and movements become conduits for entrenching or resisting power. Calling for novel approaches to law and social movements scholarship, it provides an expansive range of case studies on the topic, and grapples with questions of governmental regimes, power, and social change.
The Introductory chapter, “On “Legitimate Political Discourse” in the Global Twenty-First Century, co-authored by Professors Yarbrough, Shdaimah & Boutcher is available open access here
