| Beyond the Electoral Connection: A Reassessment of the Role of Voting in Contemporary American Politics American voting behavior has long been paradoxical. Although levels of voter participation increase with age, income, and education, middle and upper-class voters still tend to cast their ballots by "image" rather than issue. This book provides a comprehensive analysis and systematic explanation of this fundamental paradox. Kim Ezra Shienbaum is Emerita Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, Camden. |
