Seller's Description:
Very good. xiv, 335, [3] pages. Tables. Figures. Notes. References and Author Index. Court Cases. Subject Index. This is the third volume in the Agathon series on Representation. Bernard Norman Grofman (born December 2, 1944) is a political scientist at the University of California, Irvine. From the University of Chicago he received a B.S. in mathematics and an M.A. and Ph.D. in political science. He began teaching at the UC Irvine, in 1976, becoming a full professor in 1980. His works include Quiet Revolution in the South: The Impact of the Voting Rights Act, 1965-1990, Legacies of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Political Science as Puzzle Solving, A Unified Theory of Voting, and A Unified Theory of Party Competition, among many others. He also published over 200 articles in periodicals. In 2015, Grofman was appointed as a special master to redraw Virginia's congressional districts after US federal judges ruled that the previous districts were unconstitutionally gerrymandered. The US Supreme Court declined to intervene. Extracted from a review posted on line: Looming over all of these 16 essays is the Supreme Court's landmark 1986 decision in Davis v. Bandemer (106 SCt 2797) in which it agreed for the first time that it would decide cases of alleged gerrymandering. To examine the issue of gerrymandering post-Bandemer and before the onset of another post-census round of redistricting, Grofman has assembled an uncommonly distinguished set of contributors to write 16 essays. Aside from two brief introductory essays, their pieces fall into three groups: three devoted directly to understanding Bandemer, six addressing the problem of identifying or measuring a gerrymander generally, and five applying specific measures to congressional districting in Indiana and California in the 1980s. Grofman has avoided the two great pitfalls of such collections: variable quality and absence of structure. There isn't a single essay unworthy of one's time, and they are unified in their various responses to the challenges of Bandemer (by Frank Sorauf).
