And where will we find arguments which escape this trap that permeates the liberal social policy world? \u003ci\u003eShifting Borders\u003c\/i\u003e uses an evaluation of the debate over California Proposition 187 to demonstrate how this quandary is best understood by close interrogation of mainstream reports and debates and by bringing to the fore voices that are often left out of mediated discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is these voices outside the mainstream, so-called \"outlaw\" discourses, that hold the best possibilities for real social change. To illustrate their claim, the authors present dominant and outlaw discourses around Proposition 187, from television reports, internet chat sites, and religious discourse to coverage of the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e. Their critique ably demonstrates how difficult it is to maintain a position outside the mainstream, but also how important it is for the press, citizens and scholars to actively search out such voices. The findings are organized through a model that provides an innovative method for understanding events and arguments through their rhetorical and communicative construction. In a world where the mediated word defines so much of what we know, \u003ci\u003eShifting Borders\u003c\/i\u003e provides a lucid introduction to analyzing the spoken and written word that constitutes political debate in contemporary U.S. culture. In doing so, it makes an important contribution to any future development of progressive political strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e postamble();\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kent Ono\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566399173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566399173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.96w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2002 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2002 pg. 186","brand":"Kent Ono","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088567873791,"sku":"9781566399173","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff7accf8-ae88-4d92-b5bb-eeffc23d7447.jpg?v=1769105493","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shifting-borders-kent-ono-9781566399173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
