Book Synopsis
When we think about what constitutes being a good citizen, routine activities like voting, letter-writing, and paying attention to the news spring to mind. This title argues that these activities play only a small part in democratic citizenship - a form of citizenship that requires creative thinking, talking, and acting.

Trade Review
"Citizen Speak improves our understanding of the conditions that foster active citizenship and the cultural conditions that lead citizens to be involved in politics. This book makes a convincing case that a focus on democratic imagination and talk can add crucial new dimensions to our conception of citizenship as it is practiced in today's society." - Michele Lamont, Harvard University"
