“…Whether the movements involve students, women, racial, ethnic, or sexual minorities, and whether they involve peace, ecology, or justice themes, all have important historical predecessors that span at least the twentieth century and sometimes reach much further back into the nineteenth century. Hence, there is more continuity between supposedly old and new social movements than is typically implied (Johnston, Larana, and Gusfield 1994;Johnston 1994;Larana 1994;Shin 1994;Taylor 1989). The term also suggests a false dichotomy between new movements and old forms of labor organization that obscures compelling evidence for the new social movement character of many nineteenth-century labor movements (Calhoun 1993;Tucker 1991).…”

“…Among the many studies of the 1946 uprisings (Chȏng 1988;Cumings 1981;Kim 1984;Kim 1998;Shin 1994;Sim 1991), Bruce Cumings (1981) provides one of the most thorough historical accounts of the mobilization and of the American occupation period in general. Against the AMG's allegation of the communist influence of the movement, he highlights the voluntary and spontaneous characteristic of the uprisings and claims that the movement arose from below with the help of grassroots associations, especially the people's committees in local regions.…”

“…The movement has been referred to in different ways, including autumn harvest uprisings (Cumings 1981), October people's uprisings (Chȏng 1988), Taegu October uprisings (Sim 1991), or peasant uprisings of 1946 (Shin 1994). Throughout this article, the movement is referred to as the uprisings.…”

“…(Graham 1995:123-25) STRIKE LEGACY A legacy of collective action is also important when considering worker activism (Kimeldorf 1985;Wellman 1995). Past insurgency may be particularly meaningful for future action through the establishment of interpersonal and organizational networks (Minkoff 1997;Shin 1994), along with the forging of oppositional frameworks, identity, and abeyance structures that can be explicitly activated at a later point (Taylor 1989;Van Dyke 1998). We use the strike history of a given workplace to examine this potential influence.…”
