Abstract

Originally presented at the 1989 American Sociological Association National Meetings, this paper written by the North American sociologist George N. Katsiaficas reviews the traditional theories of popular movements in light of their detachment from the traditional organizer of liberation struggles, class. Drawing on movements such as women's and black civil rights in the United States, Katsiaficas demonstrates that traditional theories of "group behavior" are characterised by "extreme anti-democratic biases". Confronting such theories, the author develops the Eros effect theory that highlights the natural character of social movements as they are born from an "instinctive need for freedom".
