richly textured book of unusual depth and quality. Celock takes us with him as he crisscrosses the nation conducting extensive interviews aimed at understanding the political trajectories of young elected officials. His approach to the subject is simultaneously entertaining and systematic while relating the rich political context that surrounds each of the remarkable individuals he profiles. The Next Generation convincingly makes the argument that "next generation" politicians are bringing fresh ideas to our local, state and national politics and changing the political landscape. The Next Generation is ideal for undergraduate courses on state and local politics or the electoral process. Students reading the book will be impressed with the many examples of how ordinary Americans, many just about their age, are taking chances and making a difference in their communities and the nation. Celock's conversational writing style will appeal to students and general readers alike. The Next Generation is also highly recommended for general readers who are interested in politics and elections. -- Sean Q. Kelly -- Professor of Political Science, California State University Channel Islands."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |
