SUMMARY:Defining Democracy\: Electoral Reform and the Struggle for Power in New York City  A Reading and Discussion with Daniel Prosterman
DESCRIPTION:Defining Democracy\, written by Salem College professor Da
 niel Prosterman\, examines struggles over electoral reform in New York
  City to clarify our understanding of democracy’s evolution in the U
 nited States and the world. In the midst of global crises concerning t
 he purpose and power of government during the Great Depression\, Secon
 d World War and early Cold War\, New Yorkers debated the meaning of se
 lf-rule in the United States. Through a series of campaigns over the e
 xpansion of voting rights in New York City\, activists challenged the 
 boundaries of who could be elected\, what interests could be represent
 ed and ultimately\, what policies could be implemented at the local le
 vel. Prosterman is assistant professor of history and director of the 
 Salem Signature General Education Program at Salem College.\n\nSponsor
 ed by the Office of Cultural Events\, with support from BOOKMARKS.
