| | RECLAIMING SPACE: Poetry, Music, and Art of the Royal Chicano Air Force |
| | For many artists, "the political climate (during the movement) was such that art for art's sake had become a ludicrous fantasy" (Montoya and Carrillo, 1975, 36). | | | Artist collectives were often affiliated with specific community art centers (centros), and their cooperative efforts ranged from producing collective works of art to showing individually produced art in exhibitions devoted to their art collective or to Chicano art generally. | | | The Chicano art movement emphasized community-oriented and public art forms, such as making posters and painting murals, and the development of artistic collectives. |

| | Political Affairs Magazine - Book Review: The Art of Protest |
| | This aspect of The Art of Protest ties it to the 1930s social realists who built activist artistic movements around the principle that art cannot be isolated from the social forces out of which it was born and that artists themselves must be part of democratic and class struggles. | | | From film, to music, drama, poetry, novels and art, Communists and their allies helped produce a massive body of cultural work that often was widely respected, consumed on a mass scale by the public and made a long-lasting mark on culture in the US. | | | By implication, the kind of broad and comprehensive cultural movement that the Communist political movement had inspired and cultivated was, for the time being, impossible. |

| | Periyar's Movement |
| | She would ever be remembered for her devoted service to Periyar, which prolonged his life, and also for the leadership qualities she showed during the brief stint she directed the movement. | | | Unmindful of their opposition, he continued his onward march and gathered around him the youth and the common people. | | | Her simplicity, strong will, real concern for the welfare of the common men and the zeal to work for their progress were a real asset to Dravidar Kazhagam, an unique social revolutionary movement. |

| | The Nationalism Project: Competing National Ideologies Chapter VI |
| | The Serb national movement of 1878 (Dragnich 1994), and the Irish national movement of 1922 (Curran 1981), had succeeded where others had not through the legitimacy gained in the attainment of statehood (Sharp 1996: 17). | | | As movements are at once dynamic and reactive, they tend to perpetuate according to the relative state repression that emerges with each renewal of peripheral demands (Smith 1991: 163). | | | This is due to the collective nature of ethno-national identification, which once utilised as an ideology, may act as a facilitator of collective behaviour within a movement seeking a central ideology (Smith 1987: 50, 1992). |

| | Dr. doCarmo's Notes on the Black Cultural Movement |
| | It's only fitting, then, many black thinkers from this movement said, that black artists use black language and forms in their works, no matter how improper or unacceptable a white art establishment might hold them to be. | | | The first is that art and politics are inseparable -- that great art is born from political strife and can actually be an important tool for raising consciousness about the social problems oppressed people deal with. | | | In the 1960's, though, black writers and artists bring this idea of the marriage of art and political change roaring back again, arguably to greater effect than the socialists ever had. |

| | On Wu Mi's Conservatism |
| | This school of thought was conservative in that it directly opposed the New Cultural Movement (xin wenhua yundong) led by such famous thinkers as Hu Shi (1891-1962), Chen Duxiu (1879-1942), Li Dazhao (1889-1927), and Lu Xun (1881-1936). | | | His advocacy of the Inner Check was thus a way to restrain the widespread enthusiasm for Marxism during the New Cultural Movement. | | | Nevertheless, his contempt for populism and Marxism in politics was obvious even though he confined most of his writings to the discussion of cultural issues. |

| | It was in this book of political and cultural criticism that Ngugi formulated the preliminary forms of the thesis that was to engaged him across the following three decades: that in the neo-colonial context or in post-colonial societies the intersection of art and politics was fundamentally about the language of artistic representation. | | | While Richard Wright fascinated the Los Angeles School as a politically committed artist, it was Paul Robeson who was viewed by many members of the Los Angeles School as the exemplary Communist intellectual and artist who had held in equipoise within his historical artistic vision the dialectic of Marxism and Nationalism. | | | They established a tradition of film culture on the city in which Carl Franklin's Devil in a Blue Dress (1993), based on Walter Mosley's crime mystery of the same name, has followed and made its own contributions. |

Lewis, Ph.D. and last updated December 20, 2000. | | | This is an example of the politicization of the movement, and it would not be a very small step from politicization to claiming the banner of nationalism based on the utter Chineseness of this vision. |

| | Global Exchange : rastafarian movement |
| | The strange image of unkempt clothes and dreadlocks (or natty dreads), "the phenomenon of rudeboy," and the spirit of militant protest made Rastafari rather appealing to the dispossessed. | | | Manley's government gave such prestige to the Rastafarian movement that dreadlocks became the "in thing" in Jamaica in the 1970s. | | | Emboldened by the publicity from the convention and their sense of solidarity and strength, three-hundred bearded Rastas gathered at Victoria Park in Kingston in March 1958 and announced a takeover of Jamaica. |

| | The Dissident Feminist: Schools of Feminist Thought |
| | Radical feminist Alix Schulman realized this, but not in time to save her movement. | | | This justification was worked out in great detail, and was based on assertions in horribly-flawed books like Elizabeth Gould Davis's The First Sex and Ashley Montagu's The Natural Superiority of Women. | | | This is actually socially-conscious environmentalism with a tiny smattering of the radical and cultural feminist observation that exploitation of women and exploitation of the earth have some astonishing parallels. |

Christian philosopher Dallas Willard remarks, "...it seems to be a general law of social/historical development that institutions tend to distort and destroy the central function that brought them into existence." |

| | This movement in its various guises has filled the bookstores with books that claim to explain exactly what it is that a person must know to be "literate" in fields as diverse as science, culture, religion, and art history. | | | The Cultural Literacy movement has replaced the National Education Association committee's emphasis on living experience with an emphasis on static academic knowledge. | | | The historic tendency of educators to promote literacy lists goes today under the moniker of "Cultural Literacy." This current incarnation promises to be even more dangerous than usual. |
