After Empire: Myth, Rhetoric, and Democratic Revival

Bys: Ivie, Robert L. and Giner, Oscar

The book locates myth at the base of U.S. war culture, examines its potential reconfiguration into a culture of peace, and considers rhetoric's capacity to renew democracy by dissent. Guided by the archetype of coyote and a vision of better angels, it reflects on Barack Obama's rhetorical juggling and the prophetic voice of veterans opposed to war.
