Citizen Democracy

Political Activists in a Cynical Age (People, Passions, and Power)

Edición de la obra Citizen Democracy

"Apathy and antipathy toward politics are epidemic. Citizen Democracy provides the antidote. In this revised and updated edition, Stephen E. Frantzich portrays citizens from every walk of life - rich and poor, old and young, black and white, male and female, left and right, famous and obscure - as they choose to become involved in politics at a level to which readers can relate." "Citizen Democracy shows ordinary people engaged in extraordinary civic activity. Their causes run the gamut from civil rights to flag burning, from the Internet to the environment - but their common cause is the fact that they creatively entered the arena of national public policy making and made a difference."--Jacket.
