Constructing Narratives in Response to Trump's Election cover

This book analyzes narratives on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election victory by and for diverse populations. The narratives are designed to help students, women, young Christians, evangelicals, parents of internationally adopted children, white nationalists, etc. understand the meaning and possible consequences of Trump’s election, as well as to give voice to the responses and concerns of populations directly affected by Trump’s election. Recommended for scholars interested in political communication, rhetoric, cultural studies, sociology, and media studies.

The authors use their skills and analytic insights to delve systematically into the emergence of a president whom many have labeled as divisive and reckless. They tell an incisive story of a nation divided ideologically, but also oriented, in common, via technology. This apparent contradiction constitutes what the authors call a ‘narrative moment’ that provides a well-conceived and well-written account of the complex correlation between political discourse and technological access to such discourse. -- Michael A. Katovich, Texas Christian University
Since President Trump’s election, have you ever wondered how to talk about politics with family members, students, white nationalists, evangelical Christians, and all those who voted for Trump? I know I have. This volume takes on these issues in a deep and thoughtful way. It is a must-read for all who are concerned about the profit-centered narrative of our current administration, the deep divisions within our country, and the potential harm to our moral society and physical environment. -- Carolyn Ellis, University of South Florida
