protest literature

Protest literature is a genre of writing that aims to challenge social, political, or economic injustices and advocate for change. It includes novels, poems, essays, and plays that express dissent and raise awareness about issues like inequality, oppression, and human rights abuses. Through powerful narratives and emotional appeal, protest literature seeks to inspire readers, provoke thought, and mobilize action. Notable examples include works by writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, James Baldwin, and more recently, authors addressing contemporary issues like climate change and systemic racism. Ultimately, it serves as a voice for the marginalized and a call to conscience.
