This collection balances in-depth analyses of particular movements and pedagogical projects with broader perspectives on how language and embodied action shape avenues for activism. Featured are a wide range of sites for social change, from the progressive education movement to African American drum circles, and from prisoner reentry programs to the nineteenth-century women's suffrage movement. Speaking as scholars, activists, storytellers, rhetoricians, and teachers, the contributors blur the boundaries between different aspects of their identities and challenge divisions between creating theory and practicing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon McKenzie Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438426283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438426280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.33w x 0.64d","brand":"Sharon McKenzie Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453629706495,"sku":"9781438426280","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2e38933-3c53-4b1b-b846-cb68ff8dcafc.jpg?v=1777301292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/active-voices-sharon-mckenzie-stevens-9781438426280","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
