Politics Through a Looking-Glass is a ground-breaking exploration
of the connection between storytelling and politics. Author Eloise
Buker examines how stories--both imaginative narratives and
historical narratives--offer new ways of understanding social and
political life. Basing her analysis on extensive field studies she
conducted in two diverse political cultures--a rural working-class
community in Hawaii and a suburban upper-middle class community in
Ohio--Buker begins by developing a model for interpreting
narratives which builds upon structural analysis and philosophical
hermeneutics. She then applies her model to the interpretation of
narratives from political leaders in the two different communities,
arguing that stories are windows through which we gain insight into
a community's experiences, values, struggles, and conflicts.
