Dilemmas of Representation comprehensively examines the multifaceted activities of several legislators from New York, one of the country's most diverse states. Legislators still include strong local components in their home styles, but a variety of national factors now contribute notably to an understanding of local politics. This book encourages the reader to think more about the appropriate balance of local and national emphasis in legislator home styles, and also the advantages and disadvantages of the contrasting representational styles used by some contemporary representatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Friedman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 079147075X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791470756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.41w x 0.92d","brand":"Sally Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241097179391,"sku":"9780791470756","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_910f6b4a-0c9c-41a9-b1e4-e0117ef2c1f2.jpg?v=1772652699","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dilemmas-of-representation-sally-friedman-9780791470756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
