Reviews
""The rhetorical work of space and place is taken seriously in For the Enjoyment of the People. Stuckey supplies a brilliant interrogation of the ways that national parks have been used for claiming American identity and how the contestation of national identity can be forged from these same lands.""—Leslie A. Hahner, professor of communication, Baylor University ""In For the Enjoyment of the People, Stuckey expertly explores the presidential politics and rhetoric engaged around the creation and extension of the national park system, while simultaneously unpacking what she terms the ‘political work’ exercised by the parks themselves. Stuckey artfully delineates how the two historical paths merge and clash around multiple layers of identity and value for a host of actors. The tension between extraction, conservation, spirituality, and delineating identity is revealed through fascinating case studies of many of the United States’ most beautiful, visited, and fought over public areas.""—Diane J. Heith, author of The End of the Rhetorical Presidency: Public Leadership in the Trump Era
