Citizen Speak by Andrew J Perrin
When we think about what constitutes being a good citizen, routine activities like voting, letter-writing, and paying attention to the news spring to mind. This title argues that these activities play only a small part in democratic citizenship - a form of citizenship that requires creative thinking, talking, and acting.-

"Citizen Speak improves our understanding of the conditions that foster active citizenship and the cultural conditions that lead citizens to be involved in politicsThis book makes a convincing case that a focus on democratic imagination and talk can add crucial new dimensions to our conception of citizenship as it is practiced in today's society." - Michele Lamont, Harvard University"
