How can we engage with digital activism without being \"slacktivists\"? In \u003ci\u003eActivist Literacies, \u003c\/i\u003eJennifer Nish responds to these questions and a larger problem in contemporary public discourse: many discussions and analyses of digital and transnational activism rely on inaccurate language and inadequate frameworks. Drawing on transnational feminist theory and rhetorical analysis, Nish formulates a robust set of tools for nuanced engagement with activist rhetorics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNish applies her literacies of positionality, orientation, and circulation to case studies that highlight grassroots activism, well-resourced nonprofits, and a decentralized social media challenge; in so doing, she illustrates the complex power dynamics at work in each scenario and demonstrates how activist literacies can be used to understand and engage with efforts to contribute to social change. Written in an accessible, engaging style, \u003ci\u003eActivist Literacies\u003c\/i\u003e invites scholars, students, and activists to read activist rhetoric that engages with \"global\" concerns and circulates transnationally via social media.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of South Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57261089915224,"sku":"9781643363431","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781643363431.jpg?v=1778393788","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/activist-literacies-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
