Description: "Framing the Debate: Famous Presidential Speeches and How Progressives Can Use Them to Change the Conversation (and Win Elections) is about unleashing the power of communication in contemporary progressive politics. The book presents fifteen key speeches by American presidents in order to define the big ideas and images - the "frames" - that each speech evokes to show how those framing techniques can be applied to today's political debate in order to promote a progressive perspective." "An essential book in today's political climate, Framing the Debate is an instrumental resource in helping to reshape progressive political language and rhetoric."--book jacket.
