Cultural Roots Revival

The Cultural Roots Revival was a Terran philosophical movement aiming to restore traditional arts and crafts.

Description (Specifications)

Cultural movement that swept Terra in the 11th and 10th Century PI, encouraging people to rediscover their pre-spaceflight roots. Old arts and crafts were revived; likewise old architecture, books, plays, dances, dresses, languages, and songs.

History & Background (Dossier)

The CRR was a reaction to the transformation of the Terran Mercantile Community into the Old Earth Union and the loss of the stars that many felt this represented, a deliberate further abandonment of the universe around, a desire to forget what had been lost and turn to values that could not be lost. In this it has been likened to the neo-nationalist phenomenon observed on many of the worlds abandoned to themselves during the Long Night, but the resemblance is only skin deep. Where the neo-nationalist messages were always "strength through unity" the CRR message was "strength through diversity".
