Bushmanders & Bullwinkles : How Politicians Manipulate Electronic Maps And Census Data To Win Elections

    Mark Monmonier

  • Format

    Book

  • Published

    2001

  • Description

    He succeeds at this gloriously–and just in time: redistricting will be a hot-button issue in the years ahead, as states draw their new maps in 2001 and 2002, the parties inevitably go to court in 2003, and finally the 2004 election shakeout arrives, with results that can reverberate for years. He describes the paradox of the first Bush administration working with black and Hispanic groups to create these jurisdictions–on the theory that packing minority voters into overwhelmingly Democratic districts would dilute their influence elsewhere and thereby help elect more Republicans. summarized from Amazon.com

    Iain Anderson

  • Format

    Book

  • Published

    2007

  • Links

  • Description

    At various times during the 1950s and 1960s, musicians, critics, fans, politicians, and entrepreneurs claimed jazz as a national art form, an Afrocentric race music, an extension of modernist innovation in other genres, a music of mass consciousness, and the preserve of a cultural elite. By examining the production, presentation, and reception of experimental music by Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, John Coltrane, and others, Iain Anderson traces the strange, unexpected, and at times deeply ironic intersections between free jazz, avant-garde artistic movements, Sixties politics, and patronage networks. summarized from Amazon.com
