"""Imagining the American Polity is a vivid and engaging study of the discourse of pluralist democracy in the history of political science. It tracks the varieties of twentieth-century pluralism out of debates over 'the state' and convincingly demonstrates the genealogical ties that bind Laski and the Progressive Era to the behavioral revolutionaries of the fifties to today's multiculturalists. There is nothing quite like it in the literature on democratic theory, much less on the history of political science that John Gunnell has already done so much to advance."" ― James Farr, Northwestern University"
