The rhetoric and political communication of the 2016 Presidential
Election was arguably unconventional, partisan, and
polarizing-becoming a defining characteristic of the tone and feel
of the campaign. In this volume we examine how rhetoric and various
political communication strategies influenced and shaped the
contours of the election and ultimately its outcome. Witnessing the
most diverse electorate in U.S. political history, we look at how
voters were primed for an anti-establishment/outsider candidate and
how various rhetorical and communication appeals were used to
strategically engage different groups of voters and at times, leave
out or even scapegoat others. We also analyze how rhetoric and
political communication shaped the debate on key issues such as
climate change, immigration, national security, gender, and
representation. In an age where having a social media presence is
an essential campaign tool, we examine how Twitter was used by
candidates and its impact on the electorate and news coverage.
Overall, we demonstrate that political rhetoric and communication
is impactful, bearing electoral consequences and the potential for
policy outcomes, giving the reader much to consider as we approach
the next midterm and general election.

For decades, the Louisiana political scene has been a source of
interest and intrigue for scholars and casual observers alike. In
recent years, the state's political, economic, and environmental
challenges have drawn sustained attention from regional and
national media. Observers have typically focused on Louisiana's
distinctive political culture, including jungle primaries, colorful
candidates, and tolerance for scandal. However, recent shifts have
eroded the state's unique political character, aligning it with
national political trends of partisan realignment, political
polarization, and outside influence in state and local elections.
The Party Is Over brings together top scholars, journalists, and
policy analysts to investigate these recent shifts in institutions,
politics, and policy and situate them in the context of national
politics. Both accessible and thorough, the volume offers an
informed and reliable foundation for those new to Louisiana's
political culture and for long-time observers seeking new insights
into recent developments. Contributors recognize the challenges
posed by the new politics and point toward opportunities to
leverage the state's cultural and economic strengths to build a
better Louisiana.
Politicking While Female traces the challenges and opportunities
that shape the experiences of women who pursue and hold positions
of political leadership in the United States. In this volume,
Nichole M. Bauer gathers new essays studying the forces that keep
women out of political institutions, along with the hurdles faced
by female candidates and politicians once they overcome those
barriers. Drawing on recent, original data, Politicking While
Female examines the life cycle of a woman's political career. The
first section charts the development of political identities that
shape women's participation in politics as voters and as potential
candidates, with attention to the patterns of socialization that
can discourage women from seeing themselves as political leaders.
The next two sections focus on the process of deciding to run for
public office, especially the crucial role of mentors, and the
challenges female candidates face when campaigning, as they work to
raise money, develop effective messages, and overcome voter biases
regarding women in leadership roles. The final section explores how
women govern once in office, showing the impact of having larger
numbers of women in positions of political power. A valuable
resource for students, scholars, and voters of all backgrounds,
Politicking While Female: The Political Lives of Women offers a
comprehensive and accessible collection of essays, supported by new
research and analysis, that captures central debates in the study
of gender and politics.
