ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows that speaking with one voice is primarily a process of unifying voices, that is, of connecting voices in such a way that one voice can speak in the name of many. It examines a community-based organization whose purpose is to encourage underserved African American women in New York State to obtain reproductive health screenings, and illustrates the multivocal nature of univocality. The book focuses on the constitution of a grassroots movement in Helsinki to help asylum-seekers facing deportation. It analyzes in particular how the various participants of the movement progressively formulated the movement's official demands. The book investigates the discussions and debates among activists involved in the design of a consultation on systemic racism in Canada. It also examines how managers define and negotiate rationales for laying off people in a large public organization in Denmark.
