Dissent, Symbolic Behavior and Rhetorical Strategies - Haig A. Bosmajian - Hardcover

This book examines the rhetorical strategies of dissenters -- their communicative and persuasive uses of such symbolic behavior as sit-ins, boycotts, picketing, demonstrations, confrontations, draft-card burnings, flag burnings, black armbands, and civil disobedience. Such symbolic behavior sometimes complements the oral and written persuasion of the dissenters; at other times, this symbolic behavior is successful rhetorical strategy despite (or because of) the lack of verbal communication.Bosmajian, Haig A. is the author of 'Dissent, Symbolic Behavior and Rhetorical Strategies - Haig A.
