Scholars of rhetoric have analyzed components of the civil rights movement, including sit ins, marches, and voter registration campaigns, as well as meeting speeches delivered by well-known figures. The mass meeting itself still is also a significant site in rhetorical studies. Miller's \"liturgy of change\" framework brings attention to the pattern of religious genres--song, prayer, and testimony--that structured the events, and the ways these genres created rhetorical opportunities for ordinary people to speak up and develop their activism. To recover and reconstruct these patterns, Miller analyzes archival audio recordings of mass meetings held in Greenville and Hattisburg, Mississippi; Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham, Alabama; Savannah, Sumter, and Albany, Georgia; St. Augustine, Florida; and Danville, Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Ellis Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643363891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643363899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Elizabeth Ellis Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074577559807,"sku":"9781643363899","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f15fc4b-2e18-423a-b3a1-613acd133c55.jpg?v=1685454561","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liturgy-of-change-elizabeth-ellis-miller-9781643363899","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
