This is a very well-written, clear and interesting book, and Bishin’s work invites vigorous future debate.  If you are interested in democratic theory, the logic of representation, and congress in general, you will want to read this book.”-Robin Kolodny, Temple University\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\"The power of some minority groups to continually fend off majority interests through democratic representation has long been under-theorized.
