| Summary: | The Antigonish Movement possesses most of the characteristics of a classic social movement but lacks cultural specificity, having been adopted in many non-western and non-Christian cultures. This seeming anomaly is explained theoretically by a discussion of certain universal values which appear to underlie the six principles of the Antigonish Movement. Empirical support is offered by data gathered through a mailed questionnaire distributed to former students of the Movement in 50 countries. A general similarity is reported between the values of people in five major cultural regions and the values inherent in the Antigonish Movement. |
