Does anybody know any good material related to any of these topics: Collective Action, Social Movement, and/or Social Change. It doesn’t have to be "real", it could be fiction just as well. Novels are preferred, but articles work just fine. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be reading, I could use a movie, a tv show (episode from), or some kind of media source.
Thanks!

Do a wikipedia search on this woman, Emma Goldman.

If you want somethng a bit more modern I suggest finding out about some Black Panther literature, or perhaps Ghandi’s works.
Extremely modern day writing stems from Michael Parenti and Noam Chomsky.
