As a whole, the volume shows positive examples of institutions and departments that have been transformed by the inclusion of women and recommends a set of best practices for continuing growth in positive directions in the United States.

- Description
- This anthology takes a theoretical approach to explain how radical coalitions work to encourage visions and plans for change, both advancing and sustaining political and social activity. Based on numerous case studies of alliances created between disparate peoples and among a variety of groups, the authors show that both resource mobilization theories and identity politics frameworks are largely inadequate for conceptualizing how alliances have been and are created across boundaries of gender, race/ethnicity, class, nationality, ideology, sexual orientation, and age.
