In A Responsive Rhetorical Art, Long sets out a challenging task: to define a 'responsive rhetorical art' that is capable of 'enacting the freedoms of a functioning civil society--including the freedom to hold institutions accountable to the people most acutely affected by their policies and practices.' To that end she outlines a productive art of creating and critiquing new forms of communication and community. Her case studies include a Gambian American Student Organization and engagements with the Nipmuck Chaubunagungamaug tribe. This book is essential reading for those involved in community literacy and for all who seek a critical theory of social change. --Janet M. Atwill, University of Tennessee
