Literature and Social Justice offers a scientifically informed, evidence-based affirmative answer to that crucial question, arguing that literature has the potential--albeit largely unrealized--to produce lasting, socially transformative psychological changes in readers. Moving beyond traditional social criticism in its various forms, including feminist, gender, queer, and postcolonialist approaches, Mark Bracher uses new knowledge concerning the cognitive structures and processes that constitute the psychological roots of social injustice to develop a detailed, systematic critical strategy that he calls "schema criticism," which can be applied to literature and other discourses to maximize and extend their potential for promoting social justice. -- Publisher website. 650 0 $a Protest literature, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of, in literature. 650 0 $a Social justice in literature. 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985154 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Protest literature, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079794 650 7 $a Social justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122603 650 7 $a Roman. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Widerstand. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Protest. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Soziale Gerechtigkeit. $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA. $2 gnd 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Cognitive approaches to literature and culture series. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403013140.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112053532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B5185868E3311E3B5D817AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
