Publisher: Harvard Univ Pr
Publication Date: 1996
Binding: Hardcover

This book confirms the idea put forth nearly a century and a half ago by Alexis de Tocqueville, that American democracy is rooted in civic voluntarism--citizens' involvement in family, work, school, and religion, as well as in their political participation as voters, campaigners, protesters, or community activists. The authors analyze civic activity as none have before, with a survey of 15,000 individuals.
