"Stephen Parks restores politics to the history of Composition
Studies." -Richard Ohmann - CLASS POLITICS THE MOVEMENT FOR THE
STUDENTS' RIGHT TO THEIR OWN LANGUAGE (Second Edition) is a
response to histories of Composition Studies that focused on
scholarly articles and university programs as the generative source
for the field. Such histories, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s
divorced the field from activist politics-washing out such work in
the name of disciplinary identity. Class Politics shows the
importance of political mass movements in the formation of
Composition Studies-particularly Civil Rights and Black Power.
CLASS POLITICS also critiques how the field appropriates these
movements. The book traces a pathway from social movement, to
progressive academic groups, to their work in professional
organizations, to the formation of the Students' Right to Their Own
Language. Stephen Parks then shows how the SRTOL was attacked and
politically neutralized by conservative forces in the 1980s and
1990s, arguing for a return to politics to reanimate it's
importance-and the importance of politics in the field. - STEPHEN
PARKS is an Associate Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse
University's Writing Program, where he also serves as Director of
Graduate Studies. In addition to CLASS POLITICS: THE MOVEMENT FOR A
STUDENTS' RIGHT TO THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, he is the author of

LOVE (Syracuse University Press, 2010). He has also published in
College English, College Composition and Communication, Reflections
(of which he is the former editor), and Community Literacy Journal.
