Keeping the Republic: Power and Citizenship in American Politics

Keeping the Republic draws 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. Throughout the text and its features, authors Christine Barbour and Gerald C. Wright show students how to effectively apply the critical thinking skills they develop to the political information they encounter every day.

With students living through one of the most challenging periods in American life, Keeping the Republic, Twelfth Edition, is a much-needed resource to help them make sense of politics in America today and become savvy consumers of political information.
