US identity movements grew out of prior anti-war and Black radicalization spaces

Evidence

Second, this confluence (or at least simultaneity) of the predominantly white anti-war movement and the many strands of Black oppositional politics opened up a much wider political space in which a whole range of other social agents, by no means constituted by those movements, nevertheless began to articulate their own agendas in new and much larger ways than previously; the movements of Hispanic-Americans and of Mexican agricultural labour within the USA are cases in point. It is significant that some of the more influential figures in that first wave of the contemporary Women’s Movement in the USA which began to gather force in the late 1960s - figures as different as Shulamith Firestone and Adrienne Rich, Robin Morgan and Angela Davis - had been radicalized first within those other movements; it was only somewhat later that they began to think consistently of their own positions as women, of the larger history of those positions, and of the many modes of women’s resistance, past and presen_t. — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory, 255
