Rhetoric and Technical Communication in HOPE VI

Focusing on the HOPE VI program, this book conducts a rhetorical analysis of its impact on public housing and mixed-income communities. It explores the concept of participatory capture, which exacerbated social inequality, urging a critical reevaluation of participation in urban America. The author delves into the implications of these dynamics, challenging readers to rethink the nature of civic engagement in the context of city life.
