American Government
Stories of a Nation
Scott F. Abernathy
In this book, author Scott F. Abernathy tunes in to the voices of all Americans,
showing how our diverse ideas shape the way we behave, the laws we live by,
and the challenges we face. Each chapter features rich, personal narratives
that illustrate how the American political system is the product of strategies,
calculations, and miscalculations of countless individuals. It focuses on real
people, the actions they take, the struggles they face, and how their choices
infl uence outcomes.
The key concepts are memorable because they are tied to real politics, where
students see political action and political choices shaping how institutions
advance or impede the fulfi llment of fundamental ideas. Participation is at the
heart of this groundbreaking new text, with ample background on how and why
to participate. Not only will all students see themselves refl ected in the pages,
but they will come to understand that they, too, are strategic players in American
politics, with voices that matter.
