Autor Patricia D. Netzley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 1999 – vârsta până la 17 ani
Impassioned social protest writers inspire readers to relive injustice, empathize with its victims, and take action. The more than 450 entries in this volume survey the most important protest works of our time as well as the classics of the past.Social Protest Literature discusses the lives and concerns of more than 100 writers; analyzes each work's themes, content, and targeted social problems; provides plot synopses and character sketches; demonstrates how major literary creations represent specific ideologies; and explores key social protest concepts in the context of historical events and social and cultural milieus.This beautifully illustrated encyclopedia focuses on recent works that look at environmentalism, labor issues, civil rights for such marginalized groups as gays and lesbians and racial and ethnic minorities, the role of art under repressive regimes, and other timely issues.Extensive cross-references direct readers to other works with similar themes and a comprehensive bibliography suggests further reading.

Recenzii

Recommended for public and academic libraries.
.an interesting if somewhat specialized addition to the literature reference field because of its unique perspective. It could be a useful teaching tool as well as a starting point for research. Recommended for larger high school, public, and undergraduate library collections.
This work provides a good springboard for students searching for fictional works to illustrate a societal issue. Appropriate for high school and lower undergraduate students.
