Review Quotes: "This text is a good look into the mechanics and actual reality of American politics through the lens of those who were both positively and negatively affected by it. It gives a more complete picture of the historical nuances of the country's policies, and how groups have organized to try and impact the political process towards the betterment of society."--Maria Gabryszewska, Lone Star College-CyFair
"I appreciate that the authors mention that one of their goals is to provide a more holistic and realistic perspective on American government. This allows the student to understand that a wide variety of topics and communities will be addressed in the text. I also appreciate the explicit focus on the impact of race in American politics and government."--Timothy Bussey, Kenyon College
