"Political Science, says DeLuca, too often encourages 'the belief that half-hearted, demi-democracy is all we can expect.' DeLuca expects more. What's more, he shows in compelling prose just how half-hearted democracy engenders class injuries and destructive political resentments. The Two Faces of Political Apathy both poses a powerful challenge to democratic complacency and uncovers the promise of a more generous democratic ethos buried within American culture." --William E. Connolly, The Johns Hopkins University "The Two Faces of Political Apathy is an excellent book. Based on a penetrating and insightful analysis of key political concepts--including power, interest, participation, and depoliticalization--and conflicting theories of political apathy, Tom DeLuca presents a persuasive argument to explain the persistence of mass political passivity that grips the American polity. It is an ideal book for courses in political democracy and political theory." --Peter Bachrach, Temple University "Tom DeLuca develops a brilliant exegesis of contemporary democratic theory in order to illuminate patterns of political participation and nonparticipation in the late twentieth century United States. More than that, he complements his deft probing of theory with a sustained examination of the bearing of power inequalities on nonparticipation, and a brave consideration of the impediments to reform posed by concentrated power." --Francis Fox Piven, The City University of New York, "Political Science, says DeLuca, too often encourages 'the belief that half-hearted, demi-democracy is all we can expect.'

Regretfully the item was lost somewhere in the shipment process. I also liked the asking price as well. I dialogued with the vendor, about the item not showing up when expected. They got right back to me, and said they'd refund the purchase price (which they did). I was to watch for the item if it got delivered. I'd notify Whattaplace of that. I'd recommend this vendor & would buy from them again.
