The Voice of Power

This book contains papers presented to the International Colloquium on Communication, which took place at Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts from 23 July to 28 July 2000. The Boston colloquium theme, "The Voice of Power", provided opportunities for the evaluation of power from multiple perspectives. This theme allowed participants to examine how power is expressed in interpersonal, cultural, organizational, and mediated contexts. The papers included in this volume explore the strategies, channels and rhetoric employed by those who hold political, social and cultural power.
