Author Philippe-Joseph Salazar provides a general view of issues as they have taken shape in the apartheid and post-apartheid South African experience, presenting the country as a remarkable stage for playing out the great themes of public deliberation and the rise of postmodern rhetorical democracy. Salazar's intimate vantage point focuses on the striking case of a democracy won at the negotiating table and also won every day in public deliberation. <bRhetoric, knowledge, and society.Political oratorySouth AfricaSouth AfricaPolitics and government1989-1994South AfricaPolitics and government1994-Political oratory320.968/01/4Salazar Philippe Joseph158235MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955458503321An African Athens4498291UNINA
