Parks (writing and rhetoric, Syracuse U.) provides a second edition of his work on how social movements and political mass movements (like civil rights and Black Power) contributed to the formation of composition studies. He traces how such movements influenced and encouraged progressive academic groups to work toward the formation of goals and ideals such as "The Students' Rights to Their Own Language"--and how the histories of those movements connected with composition studies ignored the activist politics that had such a major role in establishing those goals and ideals.
