"The social, political, and legal struggles that made up the civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth century produced and refined a wide range of rhetorical strategies and tactics. Arguably the most astonishing and certainly the least understood are the sit-in protests that swept the nation at the beginning of the 1960s. A companion to Like Wildfire: The Rhetoric of the Civil Rights Sit-Ins, this concentrated collection of essays examines the origins and rhetorical methods of five distinct civil rights sit-ins of 1960, in Greenville, South Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; and neighboring Rock Hill, South Carolina; Louisville, Kentucky; and New Orleans, Louisiana. While these protests shared common influences and intentions, each demonstration was singular in its execution and reception. For students of rhetoric, protest, and sociopolitical movements, this volume demonstrates how by using lenses of rhetorical somatics, "bodily rhetoric," constitutive rhetoric, Christian rhetoric, and visual rhetoric, we can read the sit-ins as essentially persuasive conflicts in which participants invented and deployed arguments and actions in attempts to change segregated communities and the attitudes, traditions, and policies that maintained segregation"--

American civil rights literature has largely been associated with speeches, letters, and non-fiction works produced by African-American activists of the 1950s and 60s such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. This volume not only examines key works of the African-American civil rights debate past and present, it also explores issues of gender equality and sexual orientation integral to civil rights studies. This new addition to the Critical Insights series aims to critically engage with the existing plethora of canonized literature while contemporizing the conversation with topics currently affecting our nation. Edited by Christopher Allen Varlack from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Critical Insights" Civil Rights Literature, Past and Present begins with two introductory essays from the editor that detail the intersection of Race, Gender, and Orientation in American civil rights literature. The remainder of the text is then split up into two sections of essays; Critical contexts, which gives users a background of the material, and Critical Readings, a selection of in-depth, theoretical examinations of civil rights literature.

Alors que le mouvement des droits civiques commence à embraser l'Amérique des années 1950, les hôpitaux psychiatriques attestent d'une étrange évolution du diagnostic de la schizophrénie : jusque-là réservée aux intellectuels et aux femmes au foyer blanches, la maladie devient soudain l'apanage d'une nouvelle catégorie d'individus - majoritairement des hommes noirs et en colère. C'est en se plongeant dans les archives de l'hôpital d'État d'Ionia (Michigan) que le psychiatre Jonathan Metzl a fait cette découverte stupéfiante. D'inhibés qu'ils étaient, les « nouveaux» schizophrènes se voient qualifiés de belliqueux ou de paranoïaques et, parallèlement, sous la plume des grands psychiatres de l'époque, la schizophrénie devient une « psychose de révolte ». Plus encore, l'abus diagnostique s'immisce dans le langage courant au point que même Martin Luther King ou Stokely Carmichael le reprendront à leur compte, faisant de la schizophrénie une image de l'identité afro-américaine scindée en deux par l'hégémonisme blanc. Dans cet ouvrage passionnant, J. Metzl met au jour un racisme institutionnel d'un genre nouveau : l'instrumentalisation de la psychiatrie à des fins de domination des populations. Un ouvrage plus que jamais nécessaire, à l'heure où l'urgence de déconstruire toute forme de racialisation apparaît de façon toujours plus éclatante.
