Written by experts in the field, Rhetorical Histories of Social Movements in the U.S. provides readers with a rhetorical account of American social movements from the U.S. War for Independence to #BlackLivesMatter.

In nine movement-specific chapters, readers explore the history and rhetorical aspects of early U.S. movements, including the War for Independence, abolition, and women's suffrage; labor, socialist, and communist movements; the Civil Rights and Black freedom movements; Latine and immigrant struggles; women's movements; gay rights and queer liberation movements; antiwar and student movements of the 1960s; disability rights and justice movements; and ecological and environmental justice movements. Featuring a uniquely rhetorical focus, the book examines how specific movements have crafted messages, identities, and organizations to exert social influence in response to overweening power.
