Subcultures and the emergence of the Estonian nationalist opposition 1945-1990

Article Abstract:

Social movements usually spring from either an accommodative subculture or an oppositional subculture. The former attempts to incorporate conflicting values by covert actuations while the latter chooses a more publicized approach for smoothing out disagreements on principles. As such, the oppositional subculture exhibits a closer interaction between the public and private realms. In the case of Estonia, nationalist social movements emerged from the country's efforts to inform the public regarding police surveillance activities, as well as by encouraging ideological discussions.

Beyond the pales of Babylon: the ideational components and social psychological foundations of Rastafari

Article Abstract:

The popularity of the resource mobilization theory in explaining the emergence of social movements does not adequately cover the loopholes concerning the extent of the impact of ideological differences. To remedy this shortcoming, a model has been formulated that combines the social constructionist theory and readings on the new social movement. Use of this approach to analyzing the Rastafari reveals that the black Jamaican social movement's opposition to the dominant culture has been induced by political and religious beliefs.
