Reviews

<br> A volume that fills a major gap--a theoretically rich, very well integrated, and quite timely collection by a distinguished group of scholars that illuminates the role of social movements and collective action in the transformation of the U.S. health care system. --John D. McCarthy, Professor of Sociology, The Pennsylvania State University <br><br> Social Movements and the Transformation of American Health Care succeeds wonderfully in the editors' objective to bridge the divide between scholarship in the field of social movements and that of health care. As issues relating to health become ever more central in American politics and culture, the essays in this volume offer unusually valuable insights into this crucial and contested terrain. --Carole Joffe, author of Dispatches from the Abortion Wars <br><br>
