Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate: The Essential Guide for Progressives
George Lakoff, UC Berkeley cognitive linguist and author of Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think, has emerged as one of the leading progressive voices on the importance of language, the framing of political issues, and how to best define and communicate about values. Lakoff has advised top Democrats, such as Howard Dean, Barack Obama and now John Kerry's team, and appears regularly on television and radio programs, such as "Now" and "All Things Considered." To help progressives in the crucial last weeks before November 2, George Lakoff and Chelsea Green Publishing are taking on the challenge of getting out to all progressives a handbook for how to personally reach out to new and undecided voters, and to articulate a progressive vision for America. This book, Dont Think of an Elephant: Progressive Values and the Framing Wars, will be made available just after the Republican Convention, in early September.
