A groundbreaking new approach builds skills for critical thinking and effective citizen engagement. Years of teaching and participating in politics have shown Jennifer Lawless and Richard Fox that students learn more if they’re engaged by what they’re learning, and they can put what they’re learning into practice by understanding how to participate. These principles come together in American Politics: A Field Guide. This unique text captivates students with provocative questions while helping to build the skills necessary for effective citizen engagement and political participation.
