They're subtle so the establishment gambles that they won't lead to anything threatening, but often they lose that gamble." Culture wars ain't just words used by politicians to mobilize support. They are waged at the level of the mind, and the inner self. It is a way of creating new ways of looking at the world, and hopefully, new ways of re-making the world. In the Civil Rights Movement, songs from slavery days gave young people new ways of seeing themselves and a possible future. In the Black Liberation Movement, African musicians like Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba inspired activists on both sides of the Atlantic. While it's true that cultural conflicts have been used as a weapon, it can also be a tool for organizing, and building resistance movements, that creates new vistas of the possible.
