Keeping the Republic: Power and Citizenship in American Politics, 9th Brief Edition draws students into the study of American politics, showing them how to think critically about who gets what, and how" while exploring the twin themes of power and citizenship. Readers are pushed to consider how and why institutions and rules determine who wins and who loses in American politics, and to be savvy consumers of political information. This approach is thoroughly updated in the brief ninth edition to consider the influences of today's technology and social media on politics and civic engagement. With the communication of ideas and information easier than ever, it's increasingly challenging to filter through all the voices and biases to assess the facts and find balance. Throughout the text and its features, authors Christine Barbour and Gerald Wright show students how to effectively apply the critical thinking skills they develop to the political information they encounter every day. Students are challenged to deconstruct prevailing political narratives and effectively harness the political power of the information age for themselves. New content analyzes not only the 2020 election results and recent Supreme Court rulings, but also examines topics such as the activism of the Black Lives Matter movement, political outsiders in campaigns and party nominations, the federal government's response to the the COVID-19 pandemic, and the unusual presidency of Donald Trump. With students living through one of the most challenging periods in American life, Keeping the Republic is there to be a much-needed resource to help them make sense of politics in America today"--
