Praise for American Democracy in Context.
“I appreciate the blending of historical perspectives and cross-cultural approaches. This helps students better understand why and how governmental structures are the way they are and WHY THAT MATTERS for them. The book emphasizes for students that they are implicated in and have some claim over how those structures and rules constrain and shape policy outcomes.” —Brian M. Harward Allegheny College
“The book is an accessible text for students that makes the subject matter and content RELEVANT. I like the contextual approach in helping students understand why these things are important, not just understanding how government works.” —Shannon Lynn Bridgmon Northeastern State University
“I like the writing style and frequent examples and comparisons. The ‘Picture Yourself’ section is helpful, and I think STUDENTS WILL LIKE IT.” —Amanda Friesen Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis
“I like this comparative approach a lot and think that it helps when teaching the class to offer students ALTERNATIVE VIEWS of how politics in the United States could be relative to other systems. This is a book that places American politics in a comparative perspective. I would also add to my colleagues that teaching from this perspective is VALUABLE, as I think seeing contrasts in concepts can crystallize how exactly our American system works. I think the text reads nicely. To a novice, there is no jargon and the material is described in an intuitive way. I like the narrative to the text, as it is easy to follow.” —James Monogan University of Georgia
