Coles Activist Rhetoric and Narratives of Resistance in Pittsburgh at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This collection explores how the resistance narratives of marginalized communities in Pittsburgh create rhetorical capital to confront various forms of social injustice. The volume contributors argue that these powerful narratives of resistance inspire broader social transformation, positioning Pittsburgh as a microcosm of struggles for social justice. This book examines the rhetoric of resistance in the city of Pittsburgh via the stories of various marginalized communities who have resisted discrimination, exclusion, and inequities. The authors analyze these narratives of resistance across multiple realms, from August Wilson's theatrical works that gave voice to Black experiences, the 1892 Homestead Strike that shaped labor organizing, contemporary criminal justice reform efforts, women's political leadership, juvenile justice advocacy, environmental activism by Rachel Carson and Edith Ammon, movements for housing justice, and cultural organizations like the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, and the City of Asylum. While some chapters focus on known icons, the volume centers everyday citizens advocating for their communities' improved livelihood. The authors argue that local narratives of resistance create "rhetorical capital" that leads to broader social transformation. Ultimately, this collection positions Pittsburgh as a microcosm of larger struggles for justice and equality, articulating how communities that have historically been excluded from the city's growth develop powerful forms of resistance to advocate for social justice.
