Han (political science, Wellesley College and health policy, Harvard U. ) investigates how people without many educational, financial, and civic resources become engaged to participate in politics. Many studies show the most people who participate in politics are interested in it, have the resources, and are asked; she looks at people who have none of that, but dive in anyway. She covers the challenge of political equality, theoretical foundations, issue publics and the distribution of political motivation, an empirical look at issue publics and participation, pathways to participation, and looking ahead. Her case studies come from a wide range of issues, organizations, and campaigns. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
