Publisher Synopsis
This volume draws upon the talents of a well qualified group of scholars to highlight what is unique about the political struggle over redistricting in Western States. It is an important addition to the literature. -- David R. Berman, Arizona State University The all-star cast that Gary Moncrief has assembled provides timely and insightful coverage of the issues associated with redistricting. This volume deftly combines materials on the general subject of redistricting along with illustrative state case studies. While the emphasis is on the West, readers from all regions will find this work a valuable addition to the study of the decennial adjustment of political power. -- Charles S. Bullock III, University of Georgia Read more...
