Abstract:
This article addresses how collective actors sustain their engagement in the face of such high costs. System-challenging collective actors must reimagine and enact new, non-normative ways of thinking, existing, and relating that transform the status quo. This article explores the social psychological processes underlying sustained system-challenging collective action through activists’ narratives of politicization, experiences of identity change, and reimagination of social structures.
Keywords:
