Murillo, Jr.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the state of democracy at the turn of the twenty-first century? To answer this question, seven scholars lived for a year in five North Carolina communities. They observed public meetings of all sorts, had informal and formal interviews with people, and listened as people conversed with each other at bus stops and barbershops, soccer games and workplaces. Their collaborative ethnography allows us to understand how diverse members of a community not just the elite think about and experience \"politics\" in ways that include much more than merely voting.\u003cbr\u003eThis book illustrates how the social and economic changes of the last three decades have made some new routes to active democratic participation possible while making others more difficult. \u003cb\u003eLocal Democracy Under Siege\u003c\/b\u003e suggests how we can account for the current limitations of U.S. democracy and how remedies can be created that ensure more meaningful participation by a greater range of people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eComplete List of Authors (pictured) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From Left to Right, bottom row: Enrique Murillo, Jr., Thaddeus Guldbrandsen, Marla Frederick-McGlathery.\u003cbr\u003e Top row: Dorothy Holland, Catherine Lutz, Lesley Bartlett, and Don Nonini.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Lutz (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCatherine Lutz\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Anthropology at Brown University, where she has a joint appointment with the Watson Institute for International Studies.
