Summary: Annotation This work studies narrative as a form of social movement discourse and demonstrates the power of narrative analysis to illuminate features of contemporary social movements. Case studies show how stories of having been harmed or wronged, stories of conflict with unjust authorities, and stories of liberation and empowerment can be used to produce and regulate shared meaning. Davis is research assistant professor of sociology and program director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia.
