Laurie--
I agree with Rob's recommendations.  If you want to look at more general 
theory, though, you might want to try _Frontiers in Social Movement 
Theory_, a volume edited by Morris and Mueller that presents various 
strands of resource mobilization theory and research.  RM has been/was the 
big American soc. mvmt. theory for a long time.  For information on the 
most prominent challenger, new social movements theory, see _Nomads of 
the Present_ by Alberto Melucci or anything by Alain Touraine.

If I think of anything else, I'll let you know....
