In my summer/fall 2004 courses we are reading Bernard Crick's Democracy: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2002) and Dale Maharidge's Homeland to better understand the issues surrounding the upcoming 2004 Presidential Elections and to develop a clearer sense of our roles as responsible, active, knowledgeable and engaged citizens (at the local/national/global levels). Below I am creating (and will be updating) links to be used to help supplement/define/trouble/question of our study of "democracy":
