Description

Using primary sources from archives around the country, Democracy as Discussion traces the early history of the Speech field, the development of discussion as an alternative to debate, and the Deweyan, Progressive philosophy of discussion that swept the United States in the early twentieth century. Review A wonderful book, making visible how early scholarship in Speech drew from and contributed to a larger American discussion about democracy's meaning. To understand the tensions among discussion, debate, and argumentation in American life, Democracy as Discussion is essential reading, as it offers a vision for how to reconnect current group communication scholarship with its normative, civic-minded roots.--Karen Tracy, University of Colorado As Keith says, "Democracy is governance through talk." Keith's work makes clear precisely what kind of talk makes American democracy tick. Long before it became fashionable to speak of "deliberative democracy," Keith discovers how it became fashionable to teach discussion and organize public forums. Anyone who practices or preaches modern deliberation should read Keith's work carefully if they hope to understand the cultural forces that giveth-and taketh away-the aspiration for public discussion. Through Keith's book, the reader gets to join a lively discussion about discussion, featuring a mix of political philosophers, speech educators, proto-social scientists, civic reformers, and philanthropists. In Democracy as Discussion, Keith has accomplished something remarkable-bringing to life a full research library's worth of archives. Keith's book brings the discursive past of democracy into the deliberative present. Thanks to his careful and engaging historical account, we can now stand more squarely on the shoulders of this often forgotten generation of deliberative democrats.--John Gastil, University of Washington About the Author William M. Keith is associate professor of communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
