(From) Cultural resistance to community development

Charting out the history of the study of cultural resistance, this article attempts to contextualize and situate the relationship between cultural resistance and community development. Resistance expressed culturally can engender solidarity, create a shared set of norms and values, and be the jumping off point for imagining new communities and new political subjectivities. But cultural resistance can also be little more than a negative reaction to what already exists, a way of setting oneself apart (and often above) the community, while at the same time binding oneself to the very values, systems and institutions that one is resisting.
