Literature as Activism

Literature as activism refers to using stories, poems, and writing to raise awareness, challenge injustice, and inspire change. Writers create works that highlight social issues, amplify marginalized voices, and motivate readers to think critically or take action. It’s a way of using the power of words not just to entertain, but to inform and influence society positively. This approach sees literature as a tool for advocacy, empowering communities and shaping cultural conversations around important causes.
