A Dry Hate: Spotting Propaganda

by Nancy Hicks Marshall, Carl Muecke (Illustrator)

Propaganda is the use of tactics to further the cause of those in power without regard to truth or fairness. Professor Wilder, from the novel, A Dry Hate, provides his students with a list of propaganda tactics and then invites several elected officials to speak in his class. The sheriff, a state senator, the county attorney and a community activist are the four most inflammatory guest speakers. Here are their speeches. Read them and learn for yourself what propaganda tactics they use to sway you to their agenda!
