Despite much scholarly interest in stereotyping, stigma, and collective identity construction, collective action aimed at changing negative ethnic images has received little attention. Using Welsh national- ism as an image-making movement, this analysis shows how activists use framing strategies to construct a positive alternative image. Specie cally, image makers use symbols of difference, dominance, resistance and tran- scendence, drawn from their own history and culture, as frame aligners that link their claims about themselves to values from the dominant cul- ture. Yet their opponents also mobilize competing values to resist these claims. The analysis suggests that collective identities are transformed both through cone ict between dominant and oppositional cultures, and through cone ict within competing elements of the dominant culture itself. Data include interviews with Welsh image makers, nationalist publications, and editorials in mainstream British newspapers
