Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Despite the longstanding traditions of tolerance, inclusion, and democracy in the United States, dissident citizens and social movements have historically experienced significant and sustained�although often subtle and difficult-to-observe�suppression in this country. Using mechanism-based social-movement theory, this paper explores a number of episodes of contention in twentieth-century USAmerica, involving such groups as the early-century anarchists, the Black Panther Party, and the modern-day globalization movement. First I delineate a typology of actions that the state and mass media engage in to suppress dissent. Then I shift analytically from these twelve Modes of Suppression to the five dynamic, interactive Mechanisms of Suppression that animate demobilization: Resource Depletion, Stigmatization, Divisive Disruption, Intimidation, and Emulation. Drawing from mass-media accounts, FBI documents, secondary histories, and other data sources, I explain how the state and mass media have engaged in activity that�operating through social mechanisms�inhibits the preconditions for collective action, either through raising the costs or minimizing the benefits of mobilization.
