Publisher's Synopsis
""The Language of Dissent"" by Lowell Blake Mason is a thought-provoking book that explores the power of language in shaping social and political movements. The author argues that language is not just a tool for communication, but a means of resistance, rebellion, and revolution. Through a series of case studies, Mason examines how language has been used by various dissenting groups throughout history, including civil rights activists, feminists, environmentalists, and anti-globalization protesters. He shows how these groups have used language to challenge dominant narratives, mobilize supporters, and inspire change. Drawing on insights from linguistics, sociology, and political theory, Mason provides a compelling analysis of the role of language in social and political change. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the power of language and its impact on social and political movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
