This will be a classic text in conversations considering the importance of communication and the role of citizens in strategic social change. It is time for the field of communication for social change to take seriously the connections suggested in this book toward a more comprehensive framework. The attention here to social movements and political protests offers a welcome contribution to our scholarship and our practice.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKarin Gwinn Wilkins, University of Texas at Austin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The ever-relevant Tufte has reinvented himself.
