The Psychology of Radical Social Change: From Rage to Revolution delves into the social-psychological factors that drive popular uprisings from the 18th century to today. Editor Brady Wagoner brings together a range of theoretical perspectives to analyze events such as those in the Middle East beginning in 2011, examining how they emerged under specific conditions and evolved over time. The book also explores the diverse representations these movements receive from various publics, highlighting themes like crowd dynamics, collective action, identity transformations, globalization’s impact, and the malleability of political behavior. By synthesizing historical cases with contemporary examples, it offers a comprehensive look at the psychological underpinnings of revolutionary moments across different contexts.
