Preface
My friends will recognize this book for what it
is:
stone soup.
Like
the downand-out swindlers of the fable, I boiled up a pot of water, tossed in some pebbles, then invited passersby to add whatever soup makings they could spare.They added plenty.Wha!'s more, they performed a miracle: the stones becameedible. Whether they actually became tasty as weil, I leave you, the reader, todecide.Several sections of the book first took shape as memoranda to a livelyseminar in the now-defunct Center for Research on Conflict Resolution at theUniversity of Michigan. Clint Fink,
Bob
Hefner,
Bill
Garnson, Joan Lind,Elizabeth Converse, and Dee Wemette provided fruitful feedback at thatstage. Others emerged initially as informal written contributions to discussionswith friends, students,
and
collaborators (the three categories are not, I amhappy to note, mutually exclusive)
at
Michigan's Center for Research onSocial Organization. Gamson, Lind, and Wemette again badgered me, nowjoined
at
different times by
Bob
Cole, Max Heirich, Louise Tilly, DavidSnyder, Frank Munger, Bruce Fireman,
Bill
Roy, and Ron Aminzade. Substantial portions of the book build on unpublished papers which circulated foryears under the titles "From Mobilization to Political Conflict" and "Revolutions and Collective Violence." (One version of the latter paper eventuallyappeared in Fred
I.
Greenstein
and
Nelson Polsby. eds.,
Handbook
of
Political
Science,
volume
III,
published
by Addison-Wesley, 1975.)
Anyone who
looks
c10sely
at the
soup
will see some familiar ingredients floating around.
Yet
she
or he
will also see that I have chopped, blended, trinuned,
and
spicedthe ingredients so that few of them remain in anything like their original condition.About eighty people have given me reactions to the first draft of thisbook. Most, alas, were critical, although they tempered their criticism with thelame excuse that praise would do me no good. Ron Aminzade, Lynn Eden,
