The Politics of Common Sense

How Social Movements Use Public Discourse to Change Politics and Win Acceptance

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The way that movements communicate with the general public matters for their chances of lasting success. Comparing the public discourse on the living wage and marriage equality between 1994 and 2004, Deva Woodly shows that movement-led political change is rooted in whether or not movements are able to gain political acceptance.
