Definition: The gradual change in a movement's approach to affecting change as well, or a change in goals, indentity, etc.
Example: To take from the text, Stokely Carmichael's rhetoric of Black Power didn't focus on assimilation, and it wasn't worried about coming off as counter-culture to white masses for this reason. Although it still had the same overall goal of ending black persecution the attitude and method had adjusted according to the dissatisfaction of the lack of progress in former movements.
From the text:
"Just as societal elements create social movements because of frustration and disillusionment with the failure of institutiona/ establisbments to meet needs and rising expectations, so do elements within movements-particularly new generations of activists-become frustrated and disiilusioned with the failure of soci. maz)ement establisbnents to satisfy urgent needs and rising expectations (489).
