Keeping the Republic: Power and Citizenship in American Politics, THE ESSENTIALS - Softcover

“I am happier than ever with Keeping the Republic. Its accessibility and practical approach is very effective, and its emphasis on citizenship makes the book absolutely engaging for many of my students.”  (William Haltom)

“Keeping the Republic is very balanced in presenting factual information and explaining how and why structure matters. It is also quite good meeting social science requirements by showing how various propositions can be fashioned into research questions. At the same time, KTR doesn’t slam freshman and sophomores with too much information. It contains a good balance of history, current events, social science, law, and basic structure.” (Eric Herzik)

“Barbour and Wright’s Keeping the Republic is the most comprehensive, accessible text for my students, with strong supplemental ancillaries that help them get information on specific topics quickly. My students react very positively to the book.”  (Shoua Yang)
