  • Governing with Words

    The Political Dialogue on Race, Public Policy, and Inequality in America

    Rather than considering political discussions and rhetoric as symbolic, inconsequential forms of politics, Governing with Words conceptualizes them as forms of government action that can shape institutions and societal norms.
