In the midst of this turmoil, Ann Mische argues in this remarkable book, youth activists of various stripes played a vital and unrecognized role, contributing new forms of political talk and action to Brazil's emerging democracy. Drawing upon extensive and rich ethnography as well as formal network analysis, Mische tracks the lives of young activists through intersecting political networks, including student movements, church-based activism, political parties, nongovernmental organizations, and business and professional organizations. She probes the problems and possibilities they encountered in combining partisan activism with other kinds of civic involvement. In documenting activists' struggles to develop cross-partisan publics of various kinds, Mische explores the distinct styles of communication and leadership that emerged across organizations and among individuals. Drawing on the ideas of Habermas, Gramsci, Dewey, and Machiavelli, Partisan Publics highlights political communication styles and the forms of mediation and leadership they give rise to--for democratic politics in Brazil and elsewhere. Insightful in its discussion of culture, methodology, and theory, Partisan Publics argues that partisanship can play a significant role in civic life, helping to build relations and institutions in an emerging democracy. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in cultural sociology. 606 $aYouth$xPolitical activity$zBrazil 606 $aStudent movements$zBrazil 606 $aPolitical participation$zBrazil 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y1985-2002 615 0$aYouth$xPolitical activity 615 0$aStudent movements 615 0$aPolitical participation 676 $a322.408350981 686 $a15.85$2bcl 686 $a73.79$2bcl 700 $aMische$b Ann$01558056 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790938503321 996 $aPartisan publics$93822144 997 $aUNINA
