What is tokenism, what effect does it have on collective protesting by disadvantaged groups, and what is an example of its effect?
What will be an ideal response?
Tokenism occurs when only a few members of a previously excluded group are admitted to the group they were excluded from. Research has confirmed that tokenism can be a highly effective strategy for deterring collective protest in disadvantaged groups. For example, if a minority group is protesting that it has been excluded from a certain group (e.g., upper management at a company), then allowing even a small percentage of this group's members into the target group can deter collective resistance.
