- Synopsis
- American Protest Literature presents sources from eleven protest movements-political, social, and cultural-from the Revolution to abolition to gay rights to antiwar protest. Each section reprints documents from the original phase of the movement as well as evidence of its legacy in later times. Informative headnotes place the selections in historical context and draw connections with other writings within the anthology and beyond. Sources include a wide variety of genres-pamphlets, letters, speeches, sermons, legal documents, poems, short stories, photographs, posters-and a range of voices from prophetic to outraged to sorrowful, from U. S. Presidents to the disenfranchised. Together they provide an enlightening and inspiring survey of this most American form of literature.
