Monica Bauer, Metropolitan State College of Denver, has assembled an impressive selection of up-to-date, universally themed readings to illustrate the main debates of key issues in American government. The readings cover both pro and con positions on various issues and major writers from right, left, and center are represented. In a feature unique to this text, the author includes an edited dialogue between students of varying political orientations to make the readings more real and accessible to those struggling with the material. This anthology also includes Web site selections, press releases, congressional testimony and student-led interviews with major political figures to give readers a real-world political orientation.

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT: READINGS AND RESPONSES uses carefully selected readings to illustrate the debates surrounding key issues in American government. The subtitle, READINGS AND RESPONSES, reflects the main difference from other American Government readers: the presence in each chapter of what Bauer calls a Chat Room. Following single readings or clusters of smaller selections, each Chat Room is an edited version of a classroom conversation among students and the author on the issues raised in the reading(s). Because these dialogues promote critical thinking and focus on key themes, they are as integral to the text as the readings themselves.

The book is relevant to a wide variety of American government courses, including campaigns and elections, parties and public opinion.

In 1969, a young black girl in Omaha, Nebraska named Vivian Strong was killed by a white cop firing a single bullet to the back of her head, setting off one of the worst race riots of the 1960's. Nobody knew anything about her, except her age and the circumstances of her death. Through memoir like monologues inspired by real events, two actors portray multiple characters, bringing a fictional account of Vivan's life to the stage.
