In the half decade between 1787 and 1792, thanks to the work of the Abolition Committee in Britain, a vast change occurred in the way slavery and the slave trade were defined. Previously seen as necessary evils, they were seen after 1792 as gross injustices and evils that had to disappear. The present volume uses the abolition movement to show how social movements produce and change meanings and thus bring about cultural change. D'Anjou's analytical strategy has two aspects. It distinguishes the social movement as whole from its component elements, and separates its organizational context from other historical developments, the historical context. In adopting this strategy, collective campaigns are studied as instances of contentious actions that depend on antecedent developments and of characteristics that are central in explaining the effect of those actions on the culture of a society. Devising a tentative model from existing empirical research on social movements, the author tests that model against the results of his case study. The resulting conceptual model, as refined, may be used as an instrument in further research on movements and the construction of meaning. This evolved model is built around three notions: history, agency, and the collective campaign resulting in a public discourse. When, as happened in abolition, the views of the actors prevail in the public discourse, cultural change occurs.

"Drawn from an exhibition at Exit Art, a cultural center in New York City, Signs of change is a visual archive of more than 350 posters, prints, photographs, films, videos, music, and ephemera from more than twenty-five nations. Surveying the creative work of dozens of international movements, from the do-it-yourself graphics and media of the 1960s to today's instantaneous digital technologies, it investigates the themes and representations of global struggles for equality, democracy, freedom, and basic human rights. This groundbreaking work illustrates the extraordinary aesthetic range of radical movements during the past fifty years and explores the rise of powerful countercultures that evolve beyond traditional politics, creating distinct forms of art, lifestyles, and social organizations"--Page 4 of cover.

Social movements play a central role in the scope and direction of social change. They were instrumental in the creation of the modern state and, today, are major forces in politics and culture. Environmentalism, gay rights, alterglobalization, and Islamic fundamentalism are all movements with far-reaching impacts on contemporary society. What is a Social Movement? traces how the study of movements such as these - of their structures, their ideas, and their repertoires of protest - have grown in recent years to become a major focus in the social sciences. It deftly navigates the organizational, ideational, and cultural complexity of political and social movements, and offers a succinct but comprehensive overview of the hows, whys, and wheretofores of studying them. The book analyzes how politics and culture frequently intersect as people participate in movements that call for change and pursue group interests. By focusing on movement organizations and networks, on what they do, and how they articulate their ideas of justice and collective interests, What is a Social Movement? lays the essential groundwork for understanding this significant and exciting field of research, where it came from, and where it is headed.

Despite the amount of storytelling in social movements, little attention has been paid to narrative as a form of movement discourse or as a mode of social interaction. Stories of Change is a systematic study of narrative as well as a demonstration of the power of narrative analysis to illuminate many features of contemporary social movements. Davis includes a wide array of stories of change—stories of having been harmed or wronged, stories of conflict with unjust authorities, stories of liberation and empowerment, and stories of strategic success and failure. By showing how these stories are a powerful vehicle for producing, regulating, and diffusing shared meaning, the contributors explore movement stories, their functions, and the conditions under which they are created and performed. They show how narrative study can illuminate social movement emergence, recruitment, internal dynamics, and identity building.
