Abstract
When Barrington Moore († 2005) in the 1987 book The Social Bases of Obedience and Revolt addressed the question of why people at the bottom of society would most often accept their lot, and only in exceptional circumstances take to the barricades, he underscored what anthropologists had been discovering whenever they studied social movements: to understand collective action, the political and “grievances” focuses will not do. It is impossible to analyze social movements if one confines the effort to making an analysis of political power relations, or if one trusts on the automatism that, in the end, accumulated frustration and anger will produce insurrection. Moore’s approach was anthropological in the sense that he explicitly took account of the aspirations and doubts, and the adherence to the “lived normality,” of the rank and file of the people who, if at all, make social movements. His study of the harsh lot of industrial workers in early twentieth century Germany attempted to explain why overwhelming majorities were hesitant to rebel, and why, if they did, they often demanded piecemeal improvements rather than radical, structural changes. The participant’s vantage point and culture, at the micro-level of lived and shared daily life, took central stage in his analysis.
