Here is the story of the process by which competitive speech and
debate evolved in the United States during the 20th Century. This
authoritative history shows how forensics, as practiced in the
United States, was an uneasy fusion of contradictory premises that
began as a significant part of the tradition of American public
address: The need for preparing students to participate in
democratic governance in conflict with a student's need to express
personal and competitive impulses. Forensics represented a push and
pull between an activity simultaneously considered to be both a
public and a private good. The book: *identifies the themes and
trends of American forensics within an overarching chronological
framework; *reveals the impact of American forensics on the
communication discipline, as well as America's social and
educational systems; *concentrates on the elements of social
history that contributed to organizational development, leadership,
and politics; and, * provides a base line reflecting the influences
of both American culture in particular, and western culture in
general, for cross-cultural comparisons between processes and
effects of forensics as a form of education. While intrinsically
valuable as part of a comprehensive understanding of the history of
higher education in the United States in the 20th Century,
Forensics in America: A History is significant in providing a
context for understanding the role forensics may play in the 21st
Century. The book expands the study of American public address,
focuses on the pedagogy of forensics training, and explores
cultural dimensions of forensics activities.
