Changing Society: Readings for the Engaged Writer

by John K. Walton

This thematic reader helps develop writers by exposing them to readings that are immediately relevant to their lives as students, consumers, and citizens, and seeking to awaken social consciousness and encourage involvement. Rich with discussion questions and writing prompts focusing on critical reading and rhetoric, this text explores not only how society is changing, but also how citizens can participate in changing it in the interests of social justice, peace, and preservation of communities and the environment.
