Reviews
Emenaker and Morone offer a thought-provoking selection of readings that should engage students, connecting contemporary politics to the fundamentals of American government. This text will push students to grapple with both the virtues and limitations of American democracy. * Patrick Wohlfarth, University of Maryland, College Park *
[This book] is readable for students and comprehensible, it covers a wide range of topics, and for me particularly it covers topics that I like to focus on, so it gives students something to think about before they come to class. * Jennifer Lucas, Saint Anselm College *
