While there are a number of survey textbooks in American politics,
Citizenship in the American Republic is based on a fundamental
premise that many have contended for the last century--a more
informed, participatory citizenry is required for a more effective
democratic republic. Fife provides a resource for young people, as
well as older Americans, who can use the information provided to
enhance their capacity to be good citizens in their own democratic
system. He accentuates the knowledge that Americans need to be good
citizens; as such, the book occupies a unique niche among textbooks
in American politics. For those who need a fairly brief, yet
concise guide to American politics, Citizenship in the American
Republic is ideal. Fife carefully explains the material and how
citizens can use the information to create a more effective
democracy. Unlike other textbooks in American politics, the book
includes two unique sections designed to emphasize the importance
of effective citizenship in the United States: "The Importance of
Citizenship in a Republic" and "Knowledge Matters." In so doing, he
has provided a text that not only includes concrete factual
information about the many features of American politics, but
promotes the fundamental premise that citizens are absolutely
essential components of a more healthy and vibrant American
democracy.
