Book excerpt: In 2016, Americans fed up with the political process vented that frustration with their votes. Republicans nominated for president a wealthy businessman and former reality show host best known on the campaign trail for his sharp rhetoric against immigration and foreign trade. Democrats nearly selected a self-described socialist who ran on a populist platform against the influence of big money in politics. While it is not surprising that Americans would channel their frustrations into votes for contenders who pledge to end business as usual, the truth is that we don’t have to pin our hopes for greater participation on any one candidate. All of us have a say—if we learn, master and practice the skills of effective citizenship. One of the biggest roadblocks to participation in democracy is the perception that privileged citizens and special interests command the levers of power and that everyday Americans can’t fight City Hall. That perception is undoubtedly why a 2015 Pew Charitable Trusts survey found that 74 percent of those Americans surveyed believed that most elected officials didn't care what people like them thought. Graham and Hand intend to change that conventional wisdom by showing citizens how to flex their citizenship muscles. They describe effective citizenship skills and provide tips from civic experts. Even more importantly, they offer numerous examples of everyday Americans who have used their skills to make democracy respond. The reader will see themselves in these examples of citizens who chose to be victorious participants rather than tranquil spectators in the arena of democracy. By the end of the book, you will have new confidence that citizen participation is the lifeblood of America -- and will be ready to make governments work for you, not the other way around.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Civics: A Text Book of Municipal Government for the City of New York The City of New York, with a population of over three mil lion people, presents a complex problem of municipal adminis tration. More than forty-five thousand officials and employees are engaged in carrying on the work of government in the city, at an annual cost of one hundred and ten millions of dollars. This enormous working force is employed almost entirely under civil service laws. The division of duties among the members is defined by the charter of the greater city and by numerous laws, ordinances and regulations, either enacted by the Board of Aldermen or the State Legislature, or prescribed by the heads of the various departments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civic Co-Operation in Community Building: A Brief Manual of Community Work and Study Most of us desire to do something to make our communities better. At best voluntary efforts are limited; often they may not be planned efficiently. And yet it cannot be doubted that we can accomplish much in social welfare and service by extended efforts and efficient methods. To extend, therefore, our efforts and to direct them efficiently is the logical and earnest desire of every enthusiastic woman's club member. Every step in this direction will be welcomed by us. As one means to such an end and as an example of the sort of cooperation which we recommend, the Athens Woman's Club cooperates gladly with this class of students at the University of Georgia in presenting a little manual of civic cooperation to the public. We wish to commend it especially to the Women's Clubs in Georgia with the hope that it may offer some timely information and some suggestions of value.
