The Struggle for Democracy is an introductory American Politics textbook that offers students the tools they need to critically analyze the American political system and make judgments about how well our government works. Taking a fresh approach to common American government topics, authors Edward Greenberg, Benjamin Page , David Doherty, Scott Minkoff, and Joshua Ryan provide an analytical framework for understanding how politics and government work and encourage students to continually consider the question “How democratic are we?”.   In order to boost student engagement with key concepts, the 2020 Presidential Election Edition incorporates coverage of contemporary issues that dominate today’s headlines, as well as the most up-to-date data.
