Making Sense of Public Opinion: American Discourses about Immigration and Social Programs
Strauss, Claudia (Pitzer College, Claremont)
Claudia Strauss proposes that Americans form views on immigration and social welfare programs from conventional ways of speaking rather than from liberal or conservative ideologies. This book explains what conventional discourses are, how to study them and why they are fundamental elements of public opinion and political culture.
