The Art of Protest: Culture and Activism from the Civil Rights Movements to the Streets of Seattle.
University of Minnesota Press, 2005, 216 pp.
$US 24.95 paper (0-8166-3771-7), $US 74.95 hardcover (0-8166-3770-9)
In the past twenty years or so, students of social movements have rediscovered the importance of culture. European theorists of post-industrial movements (like Touraine or Melucci), whose works were translated into English in the 1980s, have helped to inspire researchers to rethink their commitment to mobilization and political process approaches through a rediscovery of culture. Even some theorists most associated with the mobilization paradigm (Gamson, Oberschall, McCarthy) have recognized the importance of culture in protest.
In The Art of Protest, T.V. Reed focuses on the dramatic actions of U.S. social movements. His book serves as an introduction to the movements, but also offers a new perspective. The author’s claims are modest, his goal being to reinterpret and synthesize elements already available in the large body of literature through cultural issues. By doing so, he challenges easy distinctions between culture and politics, and questions how culture works in and around movements. From “We shall overcome” to cyberculture, Reed pairs each movement with a defining cultural practice: singing with the Civil Rights movement, drama with the Black Panthers, poetry with Women’s Rights, murals with Chicano/a movements, movies with the American Indian Movement, rock music with actions against famine and apartheid, graphic arts with action against AIDS, literature with the environmental movement, and cyberculture with the Global Justice movement.
The book’s main focus is the civil rights movement, with music and religion as the forms of culture at its centre. Although measuring subjective change or a change in consciousness is a challenge, Reed believes that “freedom songs are one of the best records we have of the transformation of consciousness in the ordinary people, the masses, who took part in the movement” (p. 14). Yet music did not enter the movement spontaneously. A legacy had to be uncovered and reworked, sometimes with radical alterations, adding political content to the emotional content. “Three clusters of events
in particular are key to the rise of both the music and the movement: the Montgomery bus boycott, the student-led sit-ins, and the Albany, Georgia, movement” (p. 16). A musical group from Albany, the Freedom Singers, played a role in singing the movement’s story and raising funds through their concerts, thereby bringing the movement’s messages to the North and to young people while helping to create a network for the Freedom Summer of 1964. Freedom songs brought people together and became “litanies against fear” (p. 25). Music transformed the personal and collective identities of the
movement’s activists; it was not the only force shaping the movement’s identities, but it wa.

A brief discussion about globalization through media imperialism.
Researchers focused their effort on mostly nation-states as primary actors in international relations. The flow of news and entertainment was biased in favor of industrialized countries. Developing nations received scant and prejudicial coverage in Western Media. Emphasis on commercialization of sphere of culture. On the second stage of research in Cultural imperialism, it focused on transnational corporations as the primary actors on international relations ; and on transnational capital flows
The end of cold war as a global framework for ideological, Geopolitical, and Economic competition calls for a rethinking of the analytical categories and paradigms of thought. The nation state is no longer the sale or dominant player since transnational transactions occur on sub national, national, and supranational levels. According to John Tomlinson (1991) Globalization replaced cultural imperialism because it conveys a process with less coherence and direction, which will weaken the cultural unity of all nation -states ,Not only those in the developing world. Globalization has emerged as a key perspective across the humanities and social sciences, a current undoubtedly affecting the discipline of communication.
Globalization of culture has become a conceptual magnet attracting research and theorizing efforts from a variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary formations such as anthropology, comparative literature, cultural studies, communication and media studies, geography, and sociology.

Dance Diplomacy and International Exchange
1. CULTURAL DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL
EXCHANGE
SHAWN LENT AND JONATHAN “SUPER INLIGHT” ST. CLAIR
CHICAGO DANCEMAKERS FORUM – CROSSHATCH SYMPOSIUM – NOVEMBER 9, 2019
2. DANCE AS A HUMAN RIGHT
Cultural/Artistic Rights as Human Rights
(UDHR Article 27)
Everyone has the right freely to participate in the
cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to
share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral
and material interests resulting from any scientific,
literary or artistic production of which he is the author.
3. DANCE AS DIPLOMACY
Tracks of Diplomacy
1: State-to-state (cease-fires and treaties)
2: Institution-to-institution, Leader-to-leader
(academic, religious, NGOs, and other civil society actors)
3: People-to-people (community and grassroots)
4. MOTIVATIONS
NATIONAL INTERESTS: increase peace –> regional stability, open
new markets for U.S. cultural products, inform and influence foreign
publics, strengthen strategic relationships, and more.
ARTISTIC: find novel sources of inspiration, discover new ways of
working, learn from different cultural traditions, exchange ideas
with people whose worldviews differ, expand audiences/income,
and more.
HUMANITARIAN/SPIRITUAL: connect with others, engage with
difficult issues, foster trust and mutual understanding, increase
capacity for positive change, etc (without formal political agenda).
5. MOTIVATIONS
Why do you, as an artist, want to work
across cultures and borders?
Any person who interacts with another culture facilitates a form
of cultural exchange, making artists de facto “cultural
representatives.”

10. POLICY
“An important objective for our staff in Washington and
for our colleagues in the 294 U.S. embassies and missions
around the world is to illustrate and explain the culture
and context out of which our policies arise. The official
document that provides us with the mandate, ability and
authority to conduct arts and cultural exchange programs
is the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, also referred to as the
Mutual Education and Cultural Exchange Act.”
Jill Staggs, Program Officer, Cultural Programs Division, U.S. Department of State
11. FULBRIGHT-HAYS ACT OF 1961
“…authorizes the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to provide, by
grant, contract or otherwise, support to the following types of cultural programs:
Visits and tours abroad by creative and performing artists from the United
States; representation by American artists and performers in international artistic
other cultural festivals, as well as participation by groups and individuals from
abroad in similar tours and festivals in the United States.
The Fulbright-Hays Act stipulates that: all programs shall maintain their
nonpolitical character and shall be balanced and representative of the
diversity of American political, social and cultural life. Academic and cultural
programs shall maintain their scholarly integrity and shall meet the highest
standards of academic excellence and artistic achievement.”
12. POTENTIAL
“Dance is especially well positioned (pun intended) for
new diplomacy efforts to lead us towards peace. Dance
workshops and performance programs are effective
diplomacy tools because they can be shaped to meet a
variety of policy objectives, reach a wide range of
audiences and create on-going relationships between
countries. An aspect of new dance diplomacy that I
especially appreciate is the progress that we have made
in reaching audiences and students from diverse
religious, economic, ethnic and disability
communities.”
Jill Staggs, Program Officer, Cultural Programs Division, U.S. Department of State
