“This textbook explains the ideas, institutions, and interests that
form American government and politics through historical evolution and
contemporary debates. It engages students with clear writing and
informative visuals and provides a comprehensive overview of the
American political system.”
—Meena Bose, Hofstra University
The Enduring Democracy examines the current state of
American politics through the lenses of American history and the
nation’s changing demographics. This two-pronged approach encourages
students to place current issues and controversies into historical
perspective, and to think critically about how those issues and
controversies are impacted by America’s increasingly diverse population.
By analyzing and understanding the influences of historical context and
demographics, students can debate effectively with references, use
historical outcomes to predict for the future, and create strong
arguments based on what they know about fundamental changes in the
political landscape. The highly anticipated Sixth Edition
frames the 2016 general election and 2018 midterm elections from the
perspective of what they mean to college students, so that they can see
the relevance of American government in their daily lives.
