Undoing the Silence: Six Tools for Social Change Writing is a book about writing. It is also a book about the social forces that silence people and what ordinary citizens can accomplish when they are able to break the silence and put their truths, individually and collectively, into print. Louise Dunlap argues that when people are able to name their truths and take action in print to challenge injustices, “This is what democracy looks like” (2). Dunlap is determined not only to make readers aware of how they are silenced and silence themselves but also to deliver six practical tools designed to break those silences.
