The explosion of print culture that occurred in the United States
at the turn of the twentieth century activated the widespread use
of print media to promote social and political activism. Exploring
this phenomenon, the essays in Modern Print Activism in the United
States focus on specific groups, individuals, and causes that
relied on print as a vehicle for activism. They also take up the
variety of print forms in which calls for activism have appeared,
including fiction, editorials, letters to the editor, graphic
satire, and non-periodical media such as pamphlets and calendars.
As the contributors show, activists have used print media in a
range of ways, not only in expected applications such as calls for
boycotts and protests, but also for less expected aims such as the
creation of networks among readers and to the legitimization of
their causes. At a time when the golden age of print appears to be
ending, Modern Print Activism in the United States argues that
print activism should be studied as a specifically modernist
phenomenon and poses questions related to the efficacy of print as
a vehicle for social and political change.
