DISSIDENT CULTURE

Despite all of this, the dissident culture sur-

vived. It's grown quite a lot since the 1960s. In

the 1960s the dissident culture first of all was

extremely slow in developing. There was no

protest against the Indochina war until years

after the United States had started bombing

South Vietnam. When it did grow it was a very

narrow dissident movement, mostly students

and young people. By the 1970s that had

changed considerably. Major popular move-

ments had developed: the environmental

movement, the feminist movement, the anti-

nuclear movement, and others. In the 1980s

there was an even greater expansion to the sol-

idarity movements, which is something very

new and important in the history of at least

American, and maybe even world dissidence.

These were movements that not only

protested but actually involved themselves,

often intimately, in the lives of suffering peo-

ple elsewhere. They learned a great deal from

it and had quite a civilizing effect on main-

stream America. All of this has made a very

large difference. Anyone who has been

involved in this kind of activity for many years
