Abstract

This volume contains an introduction and 13 chpts. in 4 parts. Part I - the power of words: changing meanings, changing social spaces - addresses the possibility that changing the way we use language may have profound effects in a larger social context, each chapter considering different ways of using words in pursuit of liberation.
