By doing so, they disrupt the workings of important institutions and become a force in American politics. Drawing on critical episodes in U.S. history, Piven shows that it is in fact precisely at those seismic moments when people act outside of political norms that they become empowered to their full democratic potential.PolemicsCivil disobedience - United StatesCivil disobedience -- United StatesElections - United StatesElections -- United StatesPolitical culture - United StatesPolitical culture -- United StatesProtest movements - United States - HistoryProtest movements -- United States -- HistoryUnited States -- Political and government -- HistoryUnited States - Politics and government - HistoryCivil disobedience - United States.Civil disobedience -- United States.Elections - United States.Elections -- United States.Political culture - United States.Political culture -- United States.Protest movements - United States - History.Protest movements -- United States -- History.United States -- Political and government -- History.United States - Politics and government - History.322.4/0973322.40973Piven Frances Fax144127AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910782133203321Challenging Authority3672061UNINA
