Revitalization movements are typically responses to social disruption caused by outside forces such as colonialism, industrialization, or globalization, and they seek to bring about radical cultural reform by revitalizing and empowering traditional cultural practices and beliefs. Examples include the Ghost Dance movement among Native American tribes in the late 19th century and the Rastafari movement in Jamaica in the mid-20th century. The other options do not accurately reflect the nature of revitalization movements.
