Another example of reappropriation would be an African American collecting lawn jockeys or other artifacts of darky iconography. The term reappropriation can also extend to counter-hegemonic re-purposing, such as citizens with no formal authority seizing unused public or private land for community use.
The term reappropriation is an extension of the term appropriation or cultural appropriation used in anthropology, sociology and cultural studies to describe the reabsorbing of subcultural styles and forms, or those from other cultures, into mass culture through a process of commodification: the mass-marketing of alternate lifestyles, practices, and artifacts.

[[Racists say|R:]] Even among [[Race Realist]]s or [[Racist]]s very few dare to propose to proudly reappropriate the word "Racism". The N-word seemingly was reappropriated by [[Black]]s and rappers, while still taboo for [[White]]s to utter.
