Successful resistance institutionalizes into civic organizations and marginalizes street activism

Evidence

The nationalization and eventual success of black resistance produced moves toward a cosmopolitan, modular, and autonomous repertoire for contentious claim-making in the social movement mode. … Institutionalization of that repertoire marginalized those street-level activists who did not move into civic organizations as their major vehicles for claim-making, and limited the capacity of civics themselves to make effective claims beyond the local level. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 653

Categorization

• XREF: Relevant to reader’s hypothesis: Tilly shows subordinate-group movement success channeled into civic organizations — but is absorption into civic/institutional forms a channeling (defusing politicization) mechanism? This is the closest the chapter comes to testing that idea, albeit for the subordinate group, not the dominant one. — connects to: Protest movements must become robust institutions to have lasting impact; Election-centered grassroots mobilization structurally demobilizes activists after winning — Eddie S.
