The book examines the subtle suppression of dissident citizens and social movements in the United States, despite its traditions of tolerance and democracy. Utilizing mechanism-based social-movement theory, it analyzes various twentieth-century episodes of contention involving groups such as mid-century communists, the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement, and the contemporary globalization movement. Through these case studies, it sheds light on the complexities of social activism and the challenges faced by marginalized voices.
