"Rethinking Popular Representation" starts out from the deep
concern with contemporary tendencies towards depoliticization of
public issues and popular interests. It is argued that the root
cause of this is flawed representation, due to both elitist
institution building and fragmented citizen participation. Hence
the book makes a case for the need to rethink more democratic
popular representation. Towards this end, the book outlines an
overarching analytical framework for popular representation,
examines key theoretical issues and empirical experiences of
popular representation, and provides a policy-oriented
conclusion.

With humor and boyish exuberance, author Robert Webster recounts
the hardships and joys of growing up in 1930's Vermont. Born to
Scottish immigrants during the height of the Great Depression,
young Bobie learns, often the hard way, how to make do in a world
where even basic necessities are hard to come by. In this touching
and warmhearted account of his boyhood in Montpelier, the state
capital, the author reminds us of Gold Star mothers, highcuts and
jar rubbers, nickel bags of pork scraps, high stakes games of
marbles, visits by Tom Mix and Premo Canaro, and Saturday matinees
with Lash LaRue. This is Vermont before ski lifts, the interstate
highway system, television or plastic maple sugar tubing, a place
where the whole neighborhood rides the cattle truck to the state
park for Sunday picnics and ballgames, singing and telling stories
all the way. From his earliest memories as a child to the birth of
his own children, Robert Webster's memories of one of the most
challenging decades in American history unfolds with sharp insight
and brilliant detail to reveal a personal and historical treasure.
