This book explores how a variety of historically marginalised
groups create their own 'public spheres', parallel to the
mainstream public arena. Since such groups have been excluded from
conventional public discourse and activity, they build their own
infrastructures for opinion formation and expression. The book
draws upon theory in sociology, philosophy, political science, and
communications in order to understand communication patterns among
the politically marginal at different points in history. Three
diverse historical case studies (female-operated salons of
eighteenth-century Paris, the black press of the 1930s, and the
creation of The Masses), and a contemporary analysis of the
Libertarian Party, illuminate the experiences of those who live on
the fringe of the public sphere. Through synthesis of existing
scholarship, and original archival research, Politics at the Margin
demonstrates the centrality of political communication to the study
of social action.
