T. V. Reed urges an affiliation between literary theory and
political action—and between political action and literary
theory. What can the "new literary theory" learn from "new social
movements," and what can social activists learn from
poststructuralism, new historicism, feminist theory, and
neomarxism? Â In striking interpretations of texts in four
different genres—James Agee and Walker Evans’s Let Us Now
Praise Famous Men, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, Norman Mailer's
Armies of the Night, and the ecofeminist Women's Pentagon Actions
of the early 1980s—Reed shows how reading literary texts for
their political strategies and reading political movements as texts
can help us overcome certain rhetorical traps that have undermined
American efforts to combat racism, sexism, and economic inequality.
