If you want a fairly easy and interesting read, I recommend “How Change Happens: Why Some Social Movements Succeed While Others Don’t”—by Leslie Crutchfield. It’s only focuses on US movements and selects some weird things as movements but overall is a useful read.
For a more academic book, I would recommend “How Social movements matter” by Marco Giugni, which is a collection of chapters from various academics and covers a lot.
For an accessible and pretty interesting read on the theories behind direct action/mass protest, I recommend “This is an Uprising” by Mark and Paul Engler.
For more detail on how civil resistance works, and social movements in the Global south generally, I would recommend “Why Civil Resistance works” or “Civil Resistance: What you need to know” by Erica Chenoweth
I’m on my phone so could link more later if you’re interested! Feel free to DM also.
