In this book, a variety of contributors examine the work of Kenneth Burke, applying the idea of transcendence inherent in Burke’s work to a variety of topics in three general areas:
transcendence in conflict resolution, transcendence in the reordering of entrenched social oppositions, and transcendence within the individual. The book is divided into several sections and
includes conversations about race in America, President Obama, the healthcare reforms of Hilary Clinton, Virginia’s apology for slavery, British colonialism, Dr. Phil, aesthetics, and
industrial agriculture. Crable is a faculty member of Villanova University. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
