Reviews

Displacing Democracy sets out to challenge and complicate a story that is often understood as an easy equation between individual resources and individual political behavior: most rich people vote, most poor people don't. Amy Widestrom's fine book recasts this as a challenge of political engagement under conditions of stark economic segregation. What matters, in the end, is where you live-and the ways in which civic infrastructure and civic resources can sustain (or sap) democratic participation. -Colin Gordon, University of Iowa
