political science is for everybody: an introduction to political science

"This volume is a far-reaching call for a better political science, to move away from disciplinary bias to embrace the full diversity of the real world and make a meaningful contribution toward a better society and a better discipline. Political science should be for everybody; this volume shows us the way. It is a must-read for students and scholars interested in challenging disciplinary shortcomings and making political science more in tune with the opportunities and challenges of the twenty-first century."

Isabelle Engeli, Professor of Public Policy, University of Exeter, and Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Political Research

"Feminist political scientists have long lamented the homogeneity of introductory course textbooks. No more! political science is for everybody rights the imbalance by tackling the core issues of the discipline from a variety of perspectives. Rather than shying away from so-called identity politics, the authors address contentious issues head-on, reminding students that political choices, institutions, and outcomes are never neutral, but are instead shaped by histories of domination and marginalization."
