Infos

This book  assembles what political scientists, sociologists, and communication analysts have learned in almost six decades of research on political socialization (the lifelong process by which we acquire political beliefs). It also explores how people develop political values, attitudes, identities, and behavioral dispositions. Of particular interest to Philo C. Wasburn and Tawnya J. Adkins Covert is the process by which people are made into active citizens who are politically interested, informed, partisan, tolerant, and engaged. Finally, Wasburn and Adkins Covert identify some suggestions for institutional change that would lead to 'better' citizenship. 

Philo C. Wasburn is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Purdue University, USA. He holds a PhD in sociology from Cornell University, USA, and an MA and BA in philosophy from the University of Michigan, USA.  

Tawnya J. Adkins Covert is Professor of Sociology at Western Illinois University, USA. She holds a PhD and MS in sociology from Purdue University and a BA in sociology from Marshall University, USA.
