• Resumen

  • A common social movement strategy of constructing power through discourse relies on the use of universalizing arguments. Drawing upon the insights of Celeste Condit and William Bailey, the authors examine the strategy of universalization during the nuclear freeze movement of 1981–82. Some unexpected limitations are revealed.
