Harnessing and challenging hegemony: The U.S. peace movement after 9/11

Article Abstract:

Prominent peace movement organizations (PMO) adopted certain framing strategies based on the cultural and political context and oppositional identities in response to interrelated cultural and political processes after 9/11 that discouraged mass dissent. PMOs were able to convince that the prevailing consensus of war and repression threatened civil liberties and democracy, and oppositional identities rooted in structural inequalities encouraged them to highlight the cost of war and repression of minority groups.
