Rhetorical Democracy: How Communication Shapes Political Culture offers an explanation and diagnosis of the current state of American democracy rooted in the American pragmatist tradition. Robert Danisch analyzes the characteristics of communication systems and communication practices that inhibit or enhance democratic life. In doing so, this book provides a detailed explanation of the ways in which the communication systems and practices that constitute democratic life are currently fostering polarization and how they might be made to foster cooperation. Scholars of communication, rhetorical studies, political science, and media studies will find this book of particular interest.

Reviews for Rhetorical Democracy: How Communication Shapes Political Culture

Living Democracy represents an admirable addition to our reflections on what ails democracy--and how we are to fix it. It is unique in merging a care for our communication ecologies with a call for individual action, revealing how democracy is both something larger than each citizen and an intensely personal way of life to be maintained by each and all. --Scott R. Stroud, University of Texas at Austin
