Congress at the Grassroots: Representational Change in the South, 1970-1998
Richard F. Jr. Fenno

The University of North Carolina Press, 2000

However much politicians are demeaned and denounced in modern American society, our democracy could not work without them. For this reason, says Richard Fenno, their activities warrant our attention. In his pioneering book, Home Style , Fenno demonstrated that a close look at politicians at work in their districts can tell us a great deal about the process of representation. Here, Fenno employs a similarly revealing grassroots approach to ...

Peachpit Press, 1998

This book delivers on its promise.
This book was very helpful getting me up and running and doing what I wanted to do--make my website. It was also helpful in steping me through publishing my first database on FileMaker Pro. I would reccomend it to anyone wanting to use Home Page. I should say that Home Page is a very easy to use, but powerful program. It is quite intuitive. This book just happens to make it even easier to use. ...

Fenno attempts to make us focus more on the candidate as a human, as flesh and blood, rather than an ideology. What is wrong with this picture? In his chapter on Wyche Fowler he goes on to ...

Home Style: House Members in Their Districts (Longman Classics Series) (Longman Classics Series)

Richard F. Fenno

Longman, 2002

A classic work
Fenno's Home Style may have since been surpassed by some of his own work, but the original is still the best, in my humble opinion. Fenno traveled with congressmen from around the country and examined how they interact with their constituents while "at home" and out of the Beltway. His findings are a must-read for anyone interested in politics, Congress, and the legislative process. Fenno ...

A must read for Political Science 101 Students
It's too bad that this book is out of print because I'd assign it if I were teaching an introductory American government class. I wish I had been exposed to this as a freshman. I might have switched out of a civil engineering major a year earlier! Instead, I read this in graduate school when the students I was working with were given this book for required reading. The majority of the students ...
