Kerstin Jacobsson

Jonas Lindblom

We‚Äôre in an era of ever increasing attention to animal rights, and activism around the issue is growing more widespread and prominent. In this volume, Kerstin Jacobsson and Jonas Lindblom use the animal rights movement in Sweden to offer the first analysis of social movements through the lens of Emile Durkheim‚Äôs sociology of morality. By positing social movements as essentially a moral phenomenon‚Äîand morality itself as a social fact‚Äîthe book complements more structural, cultural, or strategic action‚Äìbased approaches, even as it also demonstrates the continuing value of classical sociological approaches to understanding contemporary society.
