Debate as Global Pedagogy: Rwanda Rising illustrates that the
teaching of debate offers an ideal educational approach for the
prevention and remediation of genocide. As the antithesis of
propaganda, debate and argument instruction promotes the critical
thinking necessary to resist processes of propaganda that enable
injustice and human rights abuses. Case studies of argumentation
instruction and deliberative forums worldwide demonstrate how
environments of discursive complexity can be fostered through
education in debate and argumentation. The central example of
Rwanda recovering from genocide in 1994 with help from innovative
pedagogy by iDebate Dreamers Academy provides a model for how
argumentation instruction can reduce and prevent social injustices.

James Farmer Jr.: The Great Debater provides a rhetorical and
biographical guide to how the American Civil Rights Movement came
into being. It details James Farmer Jr.'s intellectual emergence as
a young debater at an HBCU in Marshall, Texas and ultimately
chronicles how this led to the emergence of the first non-violent
sit-in against segregation in 1942 in Chicago. Farmer was a key
founder of the Congress of Racial Equality [CORE] that pioneered
the non-violent strategies that would later be used by Martin
Luther King. He debated important figures like Malcolm X to provide
a powerful advocacy grounded in the praxis of argumentation. Ben
Voth demonstrates the ongoing relevance of Farmer's successful
debate methodology in resolving contemporary race problems in the
21st century such as Black Lives Matter.
Genocide represents one of the deadliest scourges of the human
experience. Communication practices provide the key missing
ingredient toward preventing and ending this intensely symbolic
activity. The Rhetoric of Genocide: Death as a Text reveals how
strategic communication silences make this tragedy probable, and
how a greater social ethic for communication openness repels and
ends this great evil. Careful analysis of practical historical
figures, such as the great debater James Farmer Jr., along with
empirical policy successes in places such as Liberia provide a
communication-based template for ridding the world of genocide in
the twenty-first century.

Presidential campaigns are our national conversations - the
widespread and complex communication of issues, images, social
reality, and personas. Political communication specialists break
down the 2012 presidential campaign and go beyond the quantitative
facts, electoral counts, and poll results of the election, to make
sense of the "political bits" of communication that comprise our
voting choices. The contributors look at the early campaign period,
the nomination process and conventions, the social and political
contexts, the debates, the role of candidate spouses, candidate
strategies, political strategies, and the use of the Internet and
other technologies.
To simply say the 2008 presidential election was historic seems
like an understatement. The election was unique in many ways beyond
the selection of the nation's first African-American as President.
The drama of the election was also heightened by the historic
nomination battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The
contest generated issues of race and gender throughout the
campaign, as did the candidacy of Sarah Palin as the Republican
Vice Presidential nominee. And John McCain brought his own unique
qualities to the campaign: Vietnam War hero, long-term
Congressional service record, feisty temperament, and the oldest
first-time presidential candidate to run for the Presidency. Thus,
issues of race, gender and age dominated the campaign both
implicitly and explicitly. The candidacies of Clinton, Obama,
McCain and Palin provided the context and dynamics for charges of
racism, sexism and ageism. Studies of Identity in the 2008
Presidential Campaign explores issues of identity politics and the
presidential election. Investigating all aspects of race, gender or
ageism, the contributors to this volume address the role and
function of "identity politics" in political campaigns, and
highlight challenges of "identity politics" in contemporary
political campaigns.
