This eye-opening collection of documents ranging from the
pre-Christian era to the present explores the undeniable power of
social, political, and religious dissent throughout history and
around the world.
Voices of Protest is an inspiring and comprehensive look at the
meaning of protest throughout history, in democratic and
nondemocratic societies. It is also a rousing confirmation that
individual and community action matters and has great influence.
Collected here are more than 300 documents-- essays, letters,
newspaper articles, court decisions, song lyrics, poetry, cartoons,
and more-- that represent seven main categories of protest: Civil
Rights; National Self- Determination; Economic Justice;
Environmental Conservation; Religious Freedom and Morality; Peace
and War; and International Political Freedoms.
A small sampling of the entries includes Seneca Falls Declaration
of Women's Rights; Fidel Castro's anti- American writings
protesting cultural domination; John Muir's essay " The American
Forests"; and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s letter from a Birmingham
jail. The editors have framed the documents with concise original
commentary that places each selection in a political, historical,
and social context.
