About The Enduring Democracy, Sixth Edition  
The Enduring Democracy examines the current state of American politics through the lens of American history and the nation’s changing demographics. This two-pronged approach encourages students to place current issues and controversies into historical perspective, and to think critically about how those issues and controversies are impacted by America’s increasingly diverse population.
