Books for ENG 316 Rhetoric, Democracy, Advocacy

Posted by: K. Mahoney in Uncategorized

Here’s a preliminary list of books for my spring course, ENG 316 Rhetoric, Democracy, Advocacy.

I think I’ve got another book on order, but for the life of me I can’t think of what it is at the moment and the file is at work. I also have some articles and on-line material that we’ll bring into the mix. If anyone has any “must read” books and/or articles for a class like this, please pass them along.

Not surprisingly, my friend Seth Kahn down at West Chester is teaching a class similar to this one…another parallel made to order. Just too cool. A little plug for Seth…he’s co-edited with JongHwa Lee an awesome book, Rhetoric and Activism: Theory and Contexts for Political Engagement due out early 2010. The next time I teach ENG 316, I’ve gotta put this one on the reading list.
