These four studies succeed in different ways with quite different analytical problems and cases. They also share two strengths that I _would like to highlight. First, they are cautious about generalizing from a single case. Instead (and more usefullyl) these studies make arguments and present information which help us understand more about the range of diff~rences that can be foun.d amo~g social movements. Second" they often give us a sense of the action which carries their movement forward and ~a sense i~~e movement. They do not just point to a movement's enabling orgaruz~1lon or culture. These studies recognize that social movem~nts cO~1lnually face the problem of putting organization and culture into action. If you .agre~~at studies with exacdy these qualities are ne~ded to .advance sociologists understanding of social movements, the articles which follow will serve you well
