Dear list readers,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your collective wisdom! Tonight, I'm wondering if you<br>
can suggest any sources about the use of person deixis (especially "we" in<br>
English and similar forms in Spanish) among activists. This is for someone<br>
who's writing about a coalition that (successfully!) organized to persuade<br>
the New York state legislature to allow drivers licenses for undocumented<br>
migrants. The coalition's members made effective use of "we" in<br>
articulating the alliance that held them together, and it would be good to<br>
read sources that consider this issue. Again, *thank you* for any<br>
suggestions you can offer.<br>
good wishes,<br>
-Duff<br>
