He therefore took great care to hide his polioinduced lameness both visually and verbally. In FDR's Body Politics, Houck and Kiewe analyze the silences surrounding Roosevelt's disability, the words he chose to portray himself and his policies as powerful and healthgiving, and the methods he used to maximize the appearance of physical strength.Presidential rhetoric series ;no. 8.Physical fitnessPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryRhetoricPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryHuman bodySocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPeople with disabilitiesUnited StatesBiographyPresidentsUnited StatesBiographyEnglish languageUnited StatesRhetoricPublic opinionUnited StatesUnited StatesPolitics and government1933-1945Physical fitnessPolitical aspectsHistoryRhetoricPolitical aspectsHistoryHuman bodySocial aspectsHistoryPeople with disabilitiesPresidentsEnglish languageRhetoric.Public opinion973.917/092BHouck Davis W1616213Kiewe Amos1616214MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808742203321FDR's body politics3946813UNINA
