In this important contribution to the literature, Daphi draws on original and rich cross-national data to explore the relationship between memory, narratives and collective identity in one of the most influential movements of recent years, the Global Justice Movement. Full of nuanced insights on collective meaning making and analysis about narratives of becoming and belonging, it is a compelling read. -- Cristina Flesher Fominaya, Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, University of Aberdeen In this deeply researched and compellingly theorized book, Priska Daphi shows that becoming part of a movement is learning to tell the movement's story. The global justice movement was able to forge solidarity across strikingly different national contexts, Daphi demonstrates, by recounting the movement's own history. Synthesizing theories of collective identity, narrative, and group memory, Becoming a Movement contributes powerfully to our understanding of the cultural dimensions of mobilization. -- Francesca Polletta, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Irvine
