Description

Book Synopsis
Examines political rhetoric at the grassroots level. This work argues that a true understanding of the democratic body politic becomes most intelligible through a close study of its parts.

Trade Review
What makes this volume unique is that it operates with the assumption that local or grassroots sites of struggle and controversy offer a fertile and largely untapped resource for examining democratic practices in the ordinary and vernacular contexts in which most members in a democratic polity experience them. In a sense, such work sets the basis for a truly radical (in the sense of root or basic) theory of democratic political practice. - John Louis Lucaites, Indiana University, series editor
