Book Selection



What is the 4th of July all about?  How many of your family members, friends, and co-workers know?  How do we make sense of the past election?  

The Irony of Democracy gives a dynamic explanation of our country's birthday and inner workings and gives readers tools to apply these principles to current events.


The authors go beyond dry definitions and basics.   After reading and analyzing the book you will have insight into what it means to be an American--and "the underlying value is individual dignity" (Thomas R. Dye - Emeritus, Florida State University, Harmon Zeigler, Louis Schubert - City College of San Francisco). 


You can purchase the book online from Amazon or at some book stores.





The authors, Dye and Zeigler, provide a compelling argument for active citizenship, as "[t]his book challenges the prevailing pluralistic view of democracy in the United States, but it neither condemns nor endorses American political life.  Governance of the United States by a small, homogeneous elite is subject to favorable or unfavorable interpretation, according to one’s personal values.  Each reader is free to decide whether we as a society should preserve, reform, or restructure the political system described in these pages." (xix)
