Drawing on data from Africa, Latin America, North America, and the
Arab Levant, this book demonstrates how members of marginalized
(disempowered) groups sculpt a positive image for themselves,
engage in solidarity formation for group empowerment, and
(re)construct their experiences in a manner that gives them voice,
agency, and a positive identity. It argues for a more
interventionist stance in ideologically oriented discourse analysis
and demonstrates why (critical) discourse analysts must not only
expose and resist the inequities or injustices in society but, more
crucially, also adopt an activist-scholar posture in order to push
for positive social change. The book brings into focus: (a) how
discourse can be used to center the voice and agency of minority
groups, (b) how feminists re-make gender relations in our world,
(c) how non-dominant groups actively resist injustices and
discriminatory discourses directed against them, (d) how discourse
can be used to advance the goals of repressed groups in order to
instigate progressive social change, and (e) access to forms of
discourse that can be empowering for marginalized groups’
participation in social domains. It will be of interest to
postgraduate students and academics in (critical) discourse
studies, communication, and media studies as well as non-academics
such as activists, journalists, and sociopolitical commentators.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
journal Critical Discourse Studies.
