The qualitative case study of an environmental justice NGO provides a view into the daily practices of communicative labor, including critical processes of formation. In highlighting how members actively produce and mobilize images of a grassroots constituency, Dempsey challenges the tendency to treat NGOs as authentic representatives of already-formed constituencies. | | Authors / Editors | Dempsey, Sarah E | | Date Published | 2009 | | Download Citation | This citation can be downloaded in the following bibliographic database formats: Tagged; XML; BibTex |
