Gender, Race, and Social Identity in American Politics: The Past
and Future of Political Access explores the ways in which cultural
expression is represented in American politics as it intersects
with issues of gender, race, and the construction of social
identity. Specifically, this body of work examines how
representations in the media and larger culture can establish and
diminish the status of diverse communities of American politicians.
Contributors analyze the rhetorical and performative changes that
have occurred in America as it has shifted politically from growing
acceptance and tolerance to an obscure—and often
hostile—conservative ideology. This book contributes to the
growing dialogue surrounding American politics by citing specific
cases of gender and race-based infringements of the current
political system, as purported by media and party players. This
book will be especially useful to scholars of political science,
media studies, gender studies, and critical race studies.

This powerful book recounts the process of a study that examines
personal narratives of abuse survivors by assessing the
relationship between narration and teller empowerment. The
narratives, which include survival stories of rape, incest, and
battery, were collected in personal interviews, transcribed, and
coded for emergent themes. Results of the study indicate that
narrating experiences of victimization and abuse is a necessary
step in moving from victimization and survivorship, and is an
essential way for victims of abuse to become empowered. The book
discusses in detail the fundamental steps in acquiring narrative
research. Special attention is paid to the precautions and
implications of conducting research on sensitive material. Through
its examination of the data collection and analysis processes,
Taking Narrative Risk will be beneficial in coursework in
communication studies, performance methodology, and narrative
analysis.
