Corporate versus Community Power
Fifty years ago, a massive oil well blowout and subsequent oil spill triggered community resistance to oil company operations in Santa Barbara county and its surrounding waters. The county has had surprising success in regulating and reducing oil development. That success is due to the combined effectds of grassroots mobilization, longterm organization, and the availability of state agencies and laws that legitimize community participation in cor…
New Left
Although the phrase “New Left” was used as a shorthand for a variety of social movement phenomena of the 1960s, it refers specifically to a project in Britain and the United States that was aimed at renovating the discourses and practices of the established lefts in both societies. The term “New Left” came into use in the late 1950s, when it was adopted by British intellectuals who came together after the Khrushchev revelations about Stalin, the …

I was glad to be invited to participate in this symposium because Occupy Wall Street (OWS) has provided both inspiration and challenge to longtime movement activist/scholars like me. I am sharing s

Who Supports the Troops? Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the Making of Collective Memory
During the Gulf War, U.S. media portrayed Vietnam-era protesters as having treated American soldiers shamefully during the Vietnam War. Even Gulf War protesters lent credence to this historical interpretation. By “supporting the troops,” dissenters distanced themselves from their counterparts during the Vietnam era and its “remembered” anti-troop sentiments. But after analysis of Vietnam era media, we find that the media of the time—consistent wi…

Social Bases of Activist Identity
There are now a number of studies of the long-term fate of those who were active in the sixties new left (see Fendrich, 1977; McAdam, 1988; Whalen and Flacks, 1989). But the Braungarts have provided us with the first opportunity to see life-course development patterns for both rightand leftwing sixties activists. The results, even though based on a very casual and small sampling of the relevant populations, are intriguing. For they suggest that, …
Beyond the Barricades
What happens to youthful idealism as people leave their youth behind? ...Where do young revolutionaries go when the revolution doesn't happen? Amid the social and political turmoil of the late 1960s, student demonstrations on college campuses and in nearby communities looked like a prelude to apocalypse. By 1970 radical students at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), were involved in burning the Bank of America branch in Isla Vist…

The Changing Social Base of the American Student Movement
A major finding of the pioneering empirical research on the American student movement of the 1960's was that students who engaged in campus protest were pri marily raised in "humanistic," liberal, middle-class families. Based upon these data, the development of student activism was seen as growing from the almost unique aspirations and values of a small proportion of college and university youth who were particularly sensitive to and unable to ac…
Social and Cultural Meanings of Student Revolt
A new middle class has emerged, composed of persons who have achieved affluence and secure status in occupations oriented to intellectual and cultural work. Families in this stratum rear children with values and character structures which are at some variance with the dominant culture. Such youth are especially sensitized to social questions, are repelled by acquisitive and nationalistic values, and strive for a vocational situation which maximiz…

The New Left and American Politics After Ten Years
A participant observer interpretively sketches the nature and history of the New Left movement, from its genesis in the civil rights movement in the early 60s to its recent factional divisions, focusing primarily upon how New Left groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society have viewed their own aspirations and efforts and (to a lesser extent) those of the Old Left (here called “corporate liberals”). Particular attention is given to the …
