| Abstract | "Through a series of case studies, Patricia Roberts-Miller argues for seeing demagoguery as a way that people participate in public discourse, not necessarily populist and not necessarily heavily emotional. Demagoguery, she contents, depoliticizes political argument by making all issues into questions of identity"-- Provided by publisher. |
