Introduction
Charles Tilly, born in Illinois in 1929, graduated from Harvard University with a degree
in sociology sometime in 1958. He also studied at the catholic University in France and spent
some time at Harvard University. He taught a lot of universities and colleges and is a proud
owner of many awards including the Albert Hirschman Award for his contribution in the field of
social science. During his life, he is said to have penned over 50 books and over 500 scholarly
articles. One of his most popular books is Social Movements. This paper will offer a
comprehensive summary of Social Movements.
Charles Tilly Defines Social Movements as “a series of contentious performances,
displays and campaigns by which ordinary people make collective claims on others” (Tilly,

began in the mid-1800s affected politics of Europe adversely. According to him, these
movements went on to affect the colonized countries during the colonial period. Tilly argues that
social movements differ from protests in that; social movements involve social interaction unlike
protests which are unorganized. He further explains that the main cause of these social
movements is the ability of individuals to want to challenge the people in power. Tilly says that
those social movements are a way of normal people including themselves in the day to day
running of politics.
