<br/><br/> [This book] examines how the staging of modern mediated political events,the professionalizaiton of politics,and a relatively passive citizenry come together to provide an opportunity for us to rekindle the nation's impaired capacity for political imagination. [The book] conveys the drama of modern political stagecraft through exquisite narrative while simultaneously supporting arguments and analysis with a wide range of research studies and rhetorical and political theory. [It also] explores how American civic culture is variously enriched and diminished by the ways practitooners and journalists organize narratives, or stories, about our civic life. -Back cover.
