Recenzje

'Judicial Review and American Conservatism tells a fascinating and timely story. In a wide-ranging and well-told tale about the battle between a parent and the Mobile, Alabama schools over prayer in the classroom, Robert Daniel Rubin insightfully chronicles the rise of legal conservatism in 1970s America.' Michael Grossberg, Indiana University
