Radicals have important messages to deliver but are often so caught up
in the passion of their causes that they lose sight of effective
communication -- which is their biggest tool. Crucial to the cause is
the ability to speak with clarity and intelligence, without
underestimating the challenge of breaking new ground and winning new
converts.
Activists often suffer from a credibility gap because of their lack of
coherent message and strategic delivery. _ Rhetoric for Radicals _
addresses and helps solve these problems. It provides the tools to
develop the all-important communication skills necessary to be
effectively heard. If you accept that communication creates the social
world, then you will agree that changing the way we communicate can
change the world.
_ Rhetoric for Radicals _ provides practical guidelines for public
speaking, writing, conversation, persuasion, political correctness,
propaganda analysis, street theatrics and new languages. Chapters
include:
* Streets, Rhetoric, and Revolution
* A Call for Rhetorical Action
* Skills for the Multitude
* The Power of Language
* Body Rhetoric
* Twenty-First Century Radical Rhetoric
[Living Now Award] Geared to college-aged radical activists and
organizers, this book will also appeal to activists of any age who
want to sharpen their messages.
