Review
"This book belongs on the short list of works produced in the last decade or so about civic life in the United States from which one can actually learn something. The numerous strong articles repay careful attention for anyone interested both in current debates and in figuring out what the next round of debates should address." David Plotke, New School University, American Journal of Sociology, vol. 106, no. 4
Review
"The consistently high quality of the contributions to this volume make it absolutely essential for students of civic participation, and highly recommended for all who are concerned with the health of American democracy. " H.L. Reiter, University of Connecticut
