L. Sandy Maisel is the William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of Government, chair of the Department of Government, and director of the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement at Colby College. Kara Z. Buckley is a research associate at Stanford University.
Parties and Elections in America highlights the great dynamism in the American electoral process. Sandy Maisel and Kara Buckley have produced a text that is both nuanced in its approach and accessible to students of politics. It highlights the parties' role in elections without either disdain or celebration they tell it like it is. One couldn't ask for a more balanced approach. The book contains excellent treatments of complicated topics such as campaign finance reform, the role of interest groups in elections, the presidential nominating process, and state and local campaigns. Students of political parties, campaigns and elections, Congress, and the Presidency will find plenty to talk about in this volume!--Robin Kolodny, Temple University
