Social Movements and Collective Memory
This article summarizes key findings and provides suggestions for further research in the literature that combines social movements and collective memory. Existing reviews of the collective memory literature highlight the macro and micro levels of analysis; studying movements and memory adds a meso level of analysis. This review covers all three levels and for each level discusses research methods, the social consequences of memory activism, recu…
Contested Histories in Public Space: Memory, Race, and Nation
Remembering and Forgetting
Our lives are filled with the search for meaning, and central to this is the search for origins. Each individual celebrates his or her own origins through an annual birthday. Creationists and evolutionists tell about the origins of the human species. The origins of marriages are celebrated through wedding anniversaries, and couples retell stories about their first meeting, first date, or first kiss. These keywords were added by machine and not by…
Ethnic: Italian American
Two leaders of Italian American community activism—Angelo Noce (1848–1922) and Carlo Barsotti (1896–1975)—were very different, yet both experienced a life trajectory similar to that of many Italian American leaders of their era. Their differences were obvious—they came from different regions of Italy, and they settled on opposite ends of the continent (Noce in California and Colorado, and Barsotti in New York). However, they shared important form…
Religious
Columbus was not widely remembered as a religious figure until Catholics began immigrating in large numbers in the nineteenth century. Catholic and anti-immigrant groups offered competing ways to remember Columbus. By the late twentieth century, the Catholic version of the origin story became eclipsed by a story spread by Protestant, ecumenical activists. Because of Protestant and Catholic movements, a religious version of the origin story was in…
Ethnic: American Indian
Two American Indian movement groups succeed in spreading a version of the origin story that highlighted American Indian ethnicity. The two successful Indian memory groups are the Society of American Indians in the early twentieth century and the Indians of All Tribes in the late twentieth century. A Native American version of the origin story spread across space and time, in part because of the mobilization of these movements and their adversarie…
Patriotic
Francis Bellamy not only wrote the Pledge of Allegiance, he also unveiled it after organizing one of the country’s first mass media movement campaigns, during the 400th Columbus Day anniversary in 1892. One hundred years later during the 500th anniversary, Russell Means from the American Indian Movement (AIM) used theatrics to gain media attention for a new vision of patriotism. AIM used civil disobedience tactics to protest Columbus Day and chal…
Ethnic: Hispanic American
Connections between Columbus and Hispanics—e.g., Spaniards, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, and Central Americans—seem obvious given that centuries of European stories have claimed that Columbus “discovered” the Spanish colonies. However, throughout much of U.S. history, colonized Hispanics were not included in popular retellings of the origin myth. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experime…
Rediscovering
Common sense sounds nice. It resonates with our expectations. Common sense repeats Orwell’s phrase: Who controls the present controls the past. Common sense is commonly wrong. Sometimes the powerless can control the past. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
Anticolonial
After the Columbus Day protest in 2007, the lead sentence of the Denver Post article showed how the Denver American Indian Movement (D-AIM) repeatedly captured media attention: “Police arrested 83 Columbus Day Parade protesters including American Indian Movement activist Russell Means after fake blood and dismembered baby dolls were poured on the parade route Saturday.” 1 Their use of blood gained media headlines and symbolized the suffering of t…

The Presentation of Political Self: Cultural Resonance and the Construction of Collective Action Frames
This article asks how the cultural environment shapes activist claims making. Using data from a grassroots antitoxics/anti-incinerator movement field study, I show how activists modify their political claims as they shift their discussion from the interpersonal level (back region) to the wider public (front region). Each region has distinct constraints and opportunities that shape the construction and potency of activists' claims.I begin by descr…
