Building on their studies of sixties culture and theory of cognitive praxis, Ron Eyerman and Andrew Jamison examine the mobilization of cultural traditions and formulation of new collective identities through the music of activism. They combine a sophisticated theoretical argument with historical-empirical studies of nineteenth-century populists and twentieth-century labour and ethnic movements, focusing on the interrelations between music and social movements in the United States and the transfer of those experiences to Europe. Specific chapters examine folk and country music, black music, music of the 1960s movements, and music of the Swedish progressive movement. This highly readable book is among the first to link the political sociology of social movements to cultural theory.

... Perhaps the most powerful messages were from the performers themselves as they spoke directly to the audience. As Eyerman and Jamison (1998) have pointed out, social movements are dependent on the formation of collective identities, and music plays a large part in that process; the No Nukes performers' messages seemed to show an intuitive understanding of this relationship. Many artists-Goto, Hajime Chitose, Ken Yokoyama, and others-reinforced Sakamoto's words that every citizen needs to participate in their own way. ...

... The role of music in shaping social movements is its potential to transcend individual boundaries and thus to accommodate within a collective consciousness (Eyerman and Jamison 1998). Music is often used by the exploited to express their suffering and as such takes on an insurrectional quality, challenging power, and ideology, and therefore ultimately leads to critical thinking and positive social transformations (DeNora 2005). ...

... On the other hand, the Pakistani state, in its zeal to see the dam built, has overrelied on "expert knowledge" that is driven by the dam's assumed economic and technological benefits. Expert knowledge, however, is highly contested in environmental sociology, and particularly in the environmental movement literature (Beck, 1992;Carson, 1962;Cramer, Eyerman, & Jamison, 1987;Dhillon, 2017;McCormick, 2006;Shiva, 1991). A number of authors (Beck, 1992;Dhillon, 2017;McCormick, 2006) point to its inadequacy, especially in terms of assessing and foreseeing the adverse consequences of development projects on the environment and human communities (Morris & Therivel, 2009). ...

... Interestingly, political alignment played a role: the further right politically, the more opposition there was to expansion [36]. In fact, Swedish environmental debaters in the 1960s were surprisingly positive about nuclear energy due to the many struggles over hydroelectric dam projects along the northern Swedish rivers [7]. Another conflict arose in the coastal area of southwest Sweden due to the simultaneous establishment of a large pulp factory and a nuclear power plant near many summer homes. ...

... So, the fact that the baby-boomers, born in the 1940s, is the by far most analysed generational formation (see, e.g. Jamison & Eyerman 1994, Bristow 2015, is simply due to the fact that they have rehearsed their generational identity over longer time than, say, the millennials. This rehearsal, however, does not occur in a vacuum. ...

... 6), there was also trepidation towards the consequences of a newly emerging technological society. Technological militarism was a particularly strong incentive for being skeptical of the expansion, domestication, and appropriation of an emerging technological society [30], particularly considering the domestication of war atrocities, international nuclear, and cold war tensions [31]. The culmination of these trepidations and celebrations of technological innovation pinpoints exactly to why Peter Selz described modernity as a " turbulent " era, full of disorientation that artists attempted and struggled to engage with [1] (pp. 275–285). ...

... While anarchism and syndicalism do not completely or simply overlap, anarcho-syndicalism is more accurately traced to anarchist than other socialist sectors (McKay 2012). Eventually suppressed and largely dismantled by state and private forces, especially during the period leading up to and through World War I, 1 See Epstein (1993), Cornell (2016) for studies referencing anarchist influence on US social movements. 2 For historical references, see: Graham (2005Graham ( , 2009Graham ( , 2012, , Schmidt (2013), Marshall (2010), Cappelletti (2018), Maxwell and Craib (2015), Porter (2011), Zaragoza Rovira (1996, Ramos, Rodrigues, and Samis (2003), CILEP (2011), Páez (1986), Hart (1978), , Shaffer (2000Shaffer ( , 2013, Quail (2019), Berry (2009), Pernicone (1993, de Góes (2017), Voline (2019), Mbah and Igariwey (2001), van der Walt (2011van der Walt ( , 2016, Dirlik (1991), Hwang (2017), Crump (1993), Cornell (2016 Ultimately, it is the ideas ('theories') developed through these struggles that have shaped and continue to shape social life and political change. ...

... Despite this support, the Liedertheater groups could not entirely escape the wrath of the censor. On one hand, the wider folk and political song scene they inhabited displayed some of the characteristics of a Western social movement, as defined by Eyerman and Jamison (1998), for example, the collaboration between academics and practitioners in establishing 'cognitive praxis' between performer and audience. This could be seen, for example, in the Akademie der Künste's distribution of the AKTIVA song pamphlets (1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989) which nurtured collective memory of the revolutionary song tradition in a creative and subversive way, alluding to its continued relevance with itis inclusion of contemporary songs (see Robb 1998Robb , 2007c. ...

... By the former, we mean offers of payment or gifts to recruits in return for their participation in a nonviolent action. These material gains contrast with nonmaterial incentives, which offer opportunities for individuals to enjoy rewarding emotions or experiences through participating in acts of collective resistance (see discussions in Wood 2003 , chapter 8;Bramsen and Poder 2018 ), where "rewarding emotions" refer to feelings that are constructive, developmental, celebratory, and/or healing. 1 These include a sense of pride, self-esteem, and/or dignity through contributing to a reformist movement ( Jasper 2011 , 289-90); group solidarity through collaborating to realize a collective project ( Goodwin and Pfaff 2001 ;Collins 2005 , chapter 1;Eyerman 2007 ;Della Porta 2008 ); catharsis through acts of collective mourning; and, conversely, joy through participating in a group protest that has a carnivalesque atmosphere ( Chenoweth and Stephan 2011 , Kindle Location 837;Flam and King 2005 , 13-14). Whatever the emotional benefits, we assume that those feelings will only be enjoyed by individuals who are physically present at campaign events because the emotions associated with participation are inherently social ; that is, they are formed through the shared experience of attending and/or participating in public events alongside like-minded individuals ( Wood 2003 , 235). ...
