In \u003ci\u003eThe Fifth Element\u003c\/i\u003e, Crystal Leigh Endsley charts her experience of working with a dynamic and diverse group of college students, who are also emerging artists, to explore the connection between spoken word and social responsibility. She considers how themes of activism, identity, and love intersect with the lived experiences of these students and how they use spoken word to negotiate resistance and to navigate through life. Endsley also examines the local and transnational communities where performances took place to shed light on concepts of social responsibility and knowledge production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039721619799,"sku":"9781438459851","price":65.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-fifth-element-9781438459851","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
