Literary Journalism and Social Justice (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Robert Alexander, Willa McDonald Literary Journalism and Social Justice (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Robert Alexander, Willa McDonald
R3,626 Discovery Miles 36 260 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book examines the prominent place a commitment to social justice and equity has occupied in the global history of literary journalism. With international case studies, it explores and theorizes the way literary journalists have addressed inequality and its consequences in their practice. In the process, this volume focuses on the critical attitude the writers of this genre bring to their stories, the immersive reporting they use to gain detailed and intimate knowledge of their subjects, and the array of innovative rhetorical strategies through which they represent those encounters. The contributors explain how these strategies encourage readers to respond to injustices of class, race, indigeneity, gender, mobility, and access to knowledge. Together, they make the case that, throughout its history, literary journalism has proven uniquely well adapted to fusing facts with feeling in a way which makes it a compelling force for social change.

The Writer's Reader - Understanding Journalism and Non-Fiction (Paperback): Susie Eisenhuth, Willa McDonald The Writer's Reader - Understanding Journalism and Non-Fiction (Paperback)
Susie Eisenhuth, Willa McDonald
R1,333 Discovery Miles 13 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What was happening behind the Tampa headlines? How do you force a big company to take responsibility for damaging the health of its workers? What do you do when you suspect a famous author is a fake? How does it feel to be on the receiving end of police crowd control? Or on a hillside, spellbound and fearful, watching the light being sucked from the sky during an eclipse? Top writers and journalists who have written about events and issues big and small talk frankly about how they approach the task in this highly readable new collection. The Writer's Reader combines selected non-fiction articles with interviews with authors reflecting on the process of writing. Academic writing can be dry and dull, but this refreshingly accessible anthology values straight talking about writing and makes the point that if you want to write, then you had better get reading.
