This book is an original application of rhetoric and moral-emotions
theory to the sociology of social movements. It promotes a new
interdisciplinary vision of what social movements are, why they
exist, and how they succeed in attaining momentum over time.
Deepening the affective dimension of cultural sociology, this work
draws upon the social psychology of human emotion and interpersonal
communication. Specifically, the book revolves around the topic of
anger as a unique moral emotion that can be made to play crucial
motivational and generative functions in protest. The chapters
develop a new theory of the emotional power of protest rhetoric,
including how abolitionist performances of heterodoxic racial and
gender status imaginaries contributed to the escalation of the
'sectional conflict' over American slavery.
