Government whistleblowers challenge authoritarian power, yet critical scholars have only cursorily explored whistleblower discourses and hesitated to critically interrogate the ideology of statism. In Dissent, Discourse, and Democracy: Whistleblowers as Sites of Political Contestation, the author addresses this pressing need and critiques government whistleblowing discourses through an anarchist lens, reifying a pattern of discursive statist behaviors. Upon exposing government misconduct, whistleblowers and their corresponding symbolic designations endure an erasure of agency through abstraction. Joshua Guitar conceptualizes the totality of obstruction, identifying it as both a rhetorical manifestation of ideology and a method of critical rhetorical inquiry. The author reveals how whistleblowing, a quintessential tool of dissent within democracy, has been systematically constrained within the public forum and weaponized for statist interests. Scholars of political communication and rhetoric will find this book particularly intriguing.
