At a time when social movements led by religious leaders, from Louis Farrakhan to Pat Buchanan, are playing a central role in American politics, James Darsey connects this radical tradition with its prophetic roots. Public discourse in the West is derived from the Greek principles of civility, diplomacy, compromise, and negotiation. On this model, radical speech is often taken to be a symptom of social disorder. Not so, contends Darsey, who argues that the rhetoric of reform in America represents the continuation of a tradition separate from the commonly accepted principles of the Greeks. Though the links have gone unrecognized, the American radical tradition stems not from Aristotle, he maintains, but from the prophets of the Hebrew Bible. 606 $aSocial problems$zUnited States 606 $aProphecy$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aRadicalism$zUnited States 606 $aRhetoric$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEnglish language$zUnited States$xRhetoric 606 $aPolitical oratory$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1980-2020 615 0$aSocial problems 615 0$aProphecy$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRadicalism 615 0$aRhetoric$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric. 615 0$aPolitical oratory$xSocial aspects 676 $a322.10973 700 $aDarsey$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0607807 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213819603321 996 $aProphetic tradition and radical rhetoric in America$91126164 997 $aUNINA
