This engaging look at presidential candidate images features a wide range of essays that dissect how these images are formed and manipulated during campaigns. As more and more emphasis is placed on a candidate's persona and how it affects our voting decisions, Presidential Candidate Images provides a variety of frameworks and cases for analyzing candidate images in past, current, and future elections.
The volume effectively describes the current state of research on presidential candidate images, identifies weaknesses in the literature, highlights some of the disagreements, and suggests avenues for future research. Of interest to various disciplines as well as anyone interested in presidential and candidate images. Highly recommended.
