This course examines the state of U.S. democracy today. It takes an historical and comparative perspective in order to orient us to the present conditions in U.S. politics, understand patterns of change and continuity, and explore key areas of democratic challenges and resilience. Throughout, special attention will be given to the role of race and class in the development of U.S. democracy. (Gen. Ed. SB, DU)
