Gatekeepers to the Franchise
ISBN: 9780875803418 / Angielski / Twarda / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Poor, minority, and urban communities report the lowest turnout rates, calling into question the reality of American democracy. Who or what is to blame? Among the many suspects, from stealthy politicians to...

He further proposes practical improvements that will make our surprisingly peculiar...

The election of 1896 the subject of Paul Glad's expert study marked the emergence of new forces and new voices in American life which were to win power and impact in the 20th century.

Mr. Glad discusses in...
