Politics, Class, and Social Movement People: Continuing the Conversation William DeGenaro Notes on Contributors References Index"ReviewsSeasoned scholars and those new to social movement study alike will find this collection instructive, engaging, and novel in its approach and argument. As does all good scholarship, the contributors write in a way that invites readers to join the conversation, to view their work through the proffered methodological lens. Perhaps more importantly, Active Voices offers an exemplary model of scholarship that seems effortless in its reunification of communication and English studies scholars working on a level playing field-a strong trend in new social movement scholarship. - College Composition and Communication ...the editors provide a useful overview of trends in social movement theories ... Scholars and teachers of Composition and Rhetoric should read this book, certainly, but so too should Communication Studies scholars and teachers, as well as those in Anthropology, Sociology, and Political Science. The intersection of social movements and rhetoric encompasses not only the humanities and the social sciences, but also nearly every facet of academic and personal life. - Composition Studies Author InformationSharon McKenzie Stevens is Lecturer in the School of English and Media Studies at Massey University in Aotearoa/New Zealand and the author of A Place for Dialogue: Language, Land Use, and Politics in Southern Arizona.
