Reviews

Protest Politics in the Marketplace provides an engaging account of a large number of cases of consumer activism, analyzing them with regard to a straightforward set of democratic criteria. Caroline Heldman persuasively demonstrates that consumer activism has become a major component of American politics. This book will be very appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate courses in American government, interest groups, social movements, democratic theory, political sociology, and related fields. -- Mark B. Brown, California State University, Sacramento, author of <I>Science in Democracy</I> Protest Politics in the Marketplace is a valuable study of contemporary consumer activism in the United States, one which is more comprehensive than any that I know of. It is an important book. -- Lawrence B. Glickman, Stephen and Evalyn Milman Professor in American Studies, Cornell University, author of <I>Buying Power</I>
