Shenkman (Presidential Ambition) makes the provocative argument that
as American voters have gained political power in the last 50 years,
they have become increasingly ignorant of politics and world affairs—and
dangerously susceptible to manipulation. The book provides a litany
of depressing statistics—most Americans cannot name their representatives
in Congress, only 20% hold a passport, 30% cannot identify the Holocaust—as
Shenkman inquires whether Americans are capable of voting in the nation's
or even their own best interests. Although Shenkman clearly derives
some pleasure in pointing out the stupidity and irrationality of the
American public, his concern is genuine and heartfelt. In lucid, playful
prose, he illustrates how politicians have repeatedly misled voters
and analyzes the dumbing down of American politics via marketing, spin
machines and misinformation. Shenkman initiates an important conversation
in this book and makes welcome suggestions to reinvigorate civic responsibility
and provide people with the knowledge and tools necessary to efficaciously
participate in the political process. (June)
