Definition: Communal is defined as a multi-level phenomena collectively shared by multiple members that identify as a social unit, a result of purpose, ideas, and resources.
Example: An example of communal protest (in form of collective action) is the action of the working class in the context of industrial capitalism (330). Many protests encompass this collective action including: "panics, socio-political movements, and revolutionary processes" (330). An appropriate example is Black Lives Matter.
From the text: "In the sociology of collective behavior, collective action has been represented as a reactive response to the crisis or disorders of the social system" (329). "... Collective action as a result of purposes, resources, and limits, as a purposive orientation constructed by means of social relationships within a system of opportunities and constraints" (332.)
