Conclusion: settling protest dust and a future outlook on minority policies. 330 $aGillion demonstrates the direct influence that political protest behavior has on Congress, the presidency and the Supreme Court, illustrating that protest is a form of democratic responsiveness that government officials have used, and continue to draw on, to implement federal policies. Focusing on racial and ethnic minority concerns, this book shows that the context of political protest has served as a signal for political preferences. As pro-minority rights behavior grew and anti-minority rights actions declined, politicians learned from minority protest and responded when they felt emboldened by stronger informational cues stemming from citizens' behavior, a theory referred to as the 'information continuum'. Although the shift from protest to politics as a political strategy has opened the door for institutionalized political opportunity, racial and ethnic minorities have neglected a powerful tool to illustrate the inequalities that exist in contemporary society. 410 0$aCambridge studies in contentious politics. 606 $aProtest movements$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities$xCivil rights$zUnited States 615 0$aProtest movements 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aMinorities$xCivil rights 676 $a303.6/1 700 $aGillion$b Daniel Q.$f1979-$0987631 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463175703321 996 $aThe political power of protest$92258072 997 $aUNINA
