Collective action in peripheral nations: A comparative analysis of five Central American countries.Stein, Rosa Emilia Rodriguez. January 1989 (has links)
This study examines the nature and intensity of collective action in five Central American nations during the period 1950-1980. Using a historical comparative analysis, I found that Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua have had guerrilla movements and Honduras and Costa Rica have not. Instead, Honduras and Costa Rica have developed workers and peasant movements that are important political forces in their respective societies. These differences are explained by comparing and contrasting the five countries in terms of distribution of land and income, their political structure and their political influence of the United States. Unequal distribution of land and income is commonly thought to produce frustration and discontent, and in turn, higher frequencies of collective action. In Central America, land and income inequality have remained, for the most part, constant, while the nature and intensity of collective action varies over time and across country. Consequently, I concluded that inequality alone does not facilitate the origin and development of forms of collective protest. More compelling theoretical arguments can be made for the political structure of each country and the political influence of the United States as preconditions for the nature and intensity of collective action. The strength of worker and peasant organizations, and their ability to protest non-violently during these times, occurred when the United States encouraged democratic government in these nations. These forms of governance provided freedom and protection for organizing and collective protest. But as the United States supported and encouraged repressive governments, non-violent actions were repressed, and in turn, violent forms of protest originated. Then guerrilla movements appeared and developed when the United States reduced or withdrew military assistance to these repressive governments.

LOCAL WOMEN: THE PUBLIC LIVES OF BLACK MIDDLE CLASS WOMEN IN KENTUCKY BEFORE THE “MODERN CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT"McDaniel, Karen Cotton 01 January 2013 (has links)
This dissertation looks at the responses of African American club women to the challenging racial environment of Kentucky from the late 1800s through the early decades of the 20th century. It explores their efforts to negotiate the dialectical relationship between local circumstances and national movements. While most discussions of club women argue that their work merely enabled respectability, this dissertation argues that its real significance lies in the way black club women established support systems and communication systems for other forms of activism. The black women's club movement is the communication arena which establishes networks for advancing the direct action protests of the modern Civil Rights Movement.

"Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me round" -- the Southwest Georgia freedom movement and the politics of empowermentHarrison, Alisa 11 1900 (has links)
In the early 1960s, African-American residents of southwest Georgia cooperated with
organizers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to launch a freedom
movement that would attempt to battle white supremacy and bring all Americans closer to their
country's democratic ideals. Movement participants tried to overcome the fear ingrained in them
by daily life in the Jim Crow South, and to reconstruct American society from within. Working
within a tradition of black insurgency, participants attempted to understand the origins of the
intimidation and powerlessness that they often felt, and to form a strong community based on
mutual respect, equality, and trust. Black women played fundamental roles in shaping this
movement and African-American resistance patterns more generally, and struggles such as the
southwest Georgia movement reveal the ways in which black people have identified themselves
as American citizens, equated citizenship with political participation, and reinterpreted American
democratic traditions along more just and inclusive lines.
This thesis begins with a narrative of the movement. It then moves on to discuss SNCC's
efforts to build community solidarity and empower African-American residents of southwest
Georgia, and to consider the notion that SNCC owed its success to the activism of local women
and girls. Next, it proposes that in the southwest Georgia movement there was no clear
distinction between public and private space and work, and it suggests that activism in the
movement emerged from traditional African-American patterns of family and community
organization. Finally, this thesis asserts that the mass jail-ins for which the movement became
famous redefined and empowered the movement community.
This analysis reconsiders the analytical categories with which scholars generally study
social movements. Instead of employing a linear narrative structure that emphasizes formal
political activity and specific tactical victories, this thesis suggests that political participation
takes diverse forms and it highlights the cycles of community building and individual
empowerment that characterize grassroots organizing. It underscores the sheer difficulty of
initiating and sustaining a mass struggle, and argues that the prerequisite to forming an insurgent
movement is the ability of individuals to envision alternative social and cultural possibilities.
