Nepstad goes over the history of the radical anarchist Catholic social movement known as the Plowshares Movement and its emergence in the U.S. and offshoots in Europe. Nepstad is interested in why certain movements continue to sustain themselves while others start off promising but then fail and also why others fail to get off the ground. She finds that even when conditions are not ripe for a social movement that movement may have a chance of success based on individual participation and organizational structure. ]]> <![CDATA[Jack added 'The Making of Pro-life Activists: How Social Movement Mobilization Works']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78283291 to: The Making of Pro-life Activists: How Social Movement Mobilization Works (Morality and Society Series) by Ziad W. Munson
Munson uses micro-sociological analysis to see why certain people get into the Pro-Life movement and why they continue to stay and do activist work within the movement and why they do work, and stay in, current pro-life streams (such as doing activist legal work, direct action work, one-on-one clinical outreach, etc.). Munson argues that for anti-abortion activists (and activists in general) do not have fully fleshed out ideas on anti-abortion stances but develop them overtime and that their activist work within the movement further solidifies their world view. ]]> <![CDATA[Jack added 'La Patria del Criollo: An Interpretation of Colonial Guatemala']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78283228 La Patria del Criollo: An Interpretation of Colonial Guatemala (Paperback) by Severo Martinez Pelaez

Is a good book to get a basic grasp of the theological writings of the Western Church theologians but completely misses the wide breadth of Eastern and Coptic Christian writings and theologies, especially Christian theologians under the caliphate. ]]> <![CDATA[Jack added 'The Road to Terror: Stalin and the Self-Destruction of the Bolsheviks, 1932-1939']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76194844 to: The Road to Terror: Stalin and the Self-Destruction of the Bolsheviks, 1932-1939 (Annals of Communism Series) by J.
