Conflict in social movements is too often misunderstood as being an
indication of a movement's impending demise rather than as
important, reflexive work that allows movements to renew
themselves. This book addresses this question of conflict in social
movements head on. Using the Australian women's movement as a case
study, the book makes a radical departure from much previous social
movement theorising. Here, conflict between activists is seen as a
significant and productive part of social movement activity and of
feminist collective identity. Using original research with
contemporary young feminists, the book re-visions conflict as a
potentially productive force; one that, if managed carefully, has
the capacity to enhance activists' conceptual clarity, allowing
them to imagine new forms of social existence and develop new
strategies and tactics. Through an understanding of conflict as an
essential part of their collective identities, generations of
feminists are encouraged to conceptualise a new wave of activism.
