Administration and the Other examines the social construction of
groups of people and resultant policy impacts in the discourse of
the American Republic from before its founding to the present. The
book suggests that from pre-revolutionary interactions between
early colonialists and Native Americans to recent immigration
debates, discourse on The Other has resulted in the development of
policies that have led to further marginalization, community
division, and harm to scores of innocents within the public sphere.
Ultimately, Administration and the Other examines the construction
of The Other from a sociological and historical framework to engage
students and scholars of political and administrative processes in
using the often unspoken history of the field, as part of a larger
historical framework, to explore how policy has been shaped in
relation to marginalized communities. By presenting elements of
history that are frequently not entered into the administrative and
political discourse, the book aims to frame a conversation that
might lead to the integration of thoughts about the often
marginalized Other into discussions of policy-making and
policy-implementation processes.
