Student Activists, Downward Mobility and Social Change
O'Kane, James M.
Youth and Society, 6, 3, 376-392, Mar 75
An attempt to explain radical student activism as a distinct function of potential downward mobility in the lives of student activists, who, coming largely from higher status backgrounds, face and fear the possibility of "skidding", thus culminating in a revolt of the priviledged against the system.
