Water, Rhetoric, and Social Justice: A Critical Confluence examines
how individuals and communities have responded on a global scale to
present day water crises as matters of social justice, through
oratory, mass demonstration, deliberation, testimony, and other
rhetorical appeals. This book applies critical communication
methods and perspectives to interrogate the pressing yet
mind-boggling dilemma currently faced in environmental studies and
policy: that clean water, the very stuff of life, which flows
freely from the tap in affluent areas, is also denied to huge
populations, materially and fluidly exemplifying the currents of
justice, liberty, and equity. Contributors highlight discourse and
water justice movements in nonofficial spheres from activists,
artists, and the grassroots. In extending the technical, economic,
moral, and political conversations on water justice, this
collection applies special focus on the novel rhetorical concepts
and responses not necessarily unique to but especially enacted in
water justice situations. Scholars of rhetoric, sociology,
activism, communication, and environmental studies will find this
book particularly useful.

Environmental Activism, Social Media, and Protest in China:
Becoming Activists over Wild Public Networks builds upon existing
social movement scholarship in communication studies, China
studies, and sociology by analyzing China's vibrant contemporary
environmental protests. Using news reports, social media feeds, and
conversations with witnesses and participants in the protests,
Elizabeth Brunner examines three important antiparaxylene (PX)
protests: the 2007 protests in Xiamen, the 2011 protests in Dalian,
and the 2014 protests in Maoming. Brunner argues for the treatment
of protests as forces majeure and asserts the legitimacy of wild
public networks. Brunner stresses that scholars must take a
networked approach to social movements as new media become valid
platforms for furthering social change, especially in areas where
censorship is common.
