Description

political science is for everybody is the first intersectionality-mainstreamed textbook written for introductory political science courses. While political science and politics are for everybody, political institutions are neither neutral nor unbiased. When we write political science textbooks that obscure the differences in how groups experience and interact with political institutions, we do students a disservice. This book exposes students to these differences while also bringing marginalized voices to the fore, allowing more students to see their lived experiences reflected in the pages of their textbook. Bringing together a diverse group of contributors, political science is for everybody teaches all the basics of political science while showing that representation matters - both in politics and in the classroom.

Editorial Reviews

"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."

--Erin Tolley, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto Mississauga
