The relationship between politics and storytelling is one with a well-established lineage, but public policy analysis has only recently begun to develop its own appreciation of the power of narrative to explain everything from political traditions to cyberspace. This unique collection of original essays helps further that project by surveying stories of and about all kinds of American politics—from welfare, race, and immigration; to workfare, jobs, and education; to gay rights, national security, and the American Dream in an age of economic globalization.

Sanford F. Schram is visiting professor in the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College.

Philip T. Neisser is associate professor of politics at the State University of New York at Potsdam.
