#Occupywallst - A Study Of Rhetoric And Technology, Adam Hoffman

English Undergraduate

Rhetorical language was ultimately used to steer the mobilization and calls to action.

English Faculty/Staff Publications

In lieu of an abstract, here is the review's first paragraph:

In Shakespeare and the Cultivation of Difference, Patricia Akhimie sets an ambitious goal: in addition to exploring how race, class, conduct, and drama are intertwined in the early modern period, Akhimie seeks to show readers how to recognize the pain of racism, which she reads as “a persistent and particular kind of injustice, the signs of which are as fluid as they are injurious” (9).
