"If you hadnt noticed, social protest is surging, times ripe and desperate for reinvigorated scholarship and teaching concerning the rhetoric of social movements. Nathan Crick has assembled a superb cast of rhetorical theorists and critics, many activists themselves, to reconsider the history of social movement scholarship in rhetorical studies and, through a variety of engaging case studies, explore its theory and praxis on the streets, now and into imagined futures. This excellent volume underscores that rhetoric and social movements, in every sense, matter." Charles E. Morris III, Professor and Chair of Communication and Rhetorical Studies, Syracuse University
"Premised in assumptions and goals that both locate the rhetorical study of social movements in its disciplinary roots and take such scholarship in critical new direction, this collection is a critical addition to anyone interested in movement, protest, advocacy, or networks. Together, the generative case studies take readers across a range of local, regional, national, and international movements, or events, prompting a pause on the concept of movement and mandating a scholarly project that intervenes in critical social and political moments." Lisa A. Flores, Associate Professor, University of Colorado
