Tyranny of the Minority: The Subconstituency Politics Theory of Representation
"Tyranny of the Minorityaddresses fundamental questions about democracy with a careful and methodologically sophisticated approach. I found the argument of this book to be creative and persuasive. It should have a lasting impact on the literature on representation." --Vincent Hutchings, University of Michigan"The power of some minority groups to continually fend off majority interests through democratic representation has long been under-theorized. Bishin's fascinating and empirically sophisticated account of subconstituency politics is a welcome remedy, and it is absolutely vital for any understanding of American democracy." --Paul Frymer, Princeton University
