Defining Democracy: Electoral Reform and the Struggle for Power in New York City
Prosterman, Daniel O. (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, Salem College, Winston-Salem, NC, US)
Defining Democracy reveals the history of a little-known experiment in urban democracy begun in New York City during the Great Depression and abolished amid the early Cold War. For a decade, New Yorkers utilized a new voting system that produced the most diverse legislatures in the city's history and challenged the American two-party structure. Daniel O. Prosterman examines struggles over electoral reform in New York City to clarify our understanding ofdemocracy's evolution in the United States and the world.
