Synopsis
Keeping the Republic gives students the powerto examinethe narrative of whats going on in American politics, distinguishfact from fiction and balance from bias, and influencethe message through informed citizenship. Keeping the Republicdraws students into the study of American politics, showing them how to think critically about "who gets what, and how" while exploring the twin themes of power and citizenship. Students are pushed to consider how and why institutions and rules determine who wins and who loses in American politics, and to be savvy consumers of political information. The thoroughly updated EighthEditionconsiders how a major component of power is who controls the information, how it is assembled into narratives, and whether we come to recognize fact from fiction. Citizens now have unprecedented access to power - the ability to create and share their own narratives - while simultaneously being even more vulnerable to those trying to shape their views. The political landscape of today gives us new ways to keep the republic, and some high-tech ways to lose it. Throughout the text and its features, authors Christine Barbour and Gerald Wright show students how to effectively apply the critical thinking skills they develop to the political information they encounter every day. Students are challenged to deconstruct prevailing narratives and effectively harness the political power of the information age for themselves. Up-to-date with 2018 election results and analysis, as well as the impact of recent Supreme Court rulings, shifting demographics, and emerging and continuing social movements, Keeping the Republic, Eighth Editionis a much-needed resource to help students make sense of politics in America today.Carefully condensed from the full version by authors Christine Barbour and Gerald Wright, Keeping the Republic, Brief Editiongives your students all the continuity and crucial content, in a more concise, value-oriented package.
