Faces of Inequality : Social Diversity in American Politics
ISBN: 9780195117141 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Scholars have broadly acknowledged that racial and ethnic diversity are central to American political history, but Rodney E. Hero is the first to posit and systematically examine this diversity as essential to our understanding of contemporary American politics. In these pages, Hero regards race/ethnicity as...

City Limits
ISBN: 9780226662930 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Winner of the 1981 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for the best book published in the United States on government, politics, or international affairs.

It is thereby able to explain some pervasive tendencies of urban political outcomes that are puzzling or scarcely noticed at all when cities are viewed as autonomous units, outside the federal framework. Professor Peterson's analysis is imaginativelyfor conceived and skillfully carried through. His...
