Description

The Civic Imagination provides a rich empirical description of civic life and a broader discussion of the future of democracy in contemporary America.

Over the course of a year, five researchers observed and participated in 7 civic organisations in a mid-sized US city.

They draw on this ethnographic evidence to map the 'civic imaginations' that motivate citizenship engagement in America today.

The book unpacks how contemporary Americans think about and act toward positive social and political change while the authors' findings challenge contemporary assertions of American apathy.

This will be an important book for students and academics interested in political science and sociology.
