Do you know the shape of your congressional district? Do you know its shape has changed many times in the past and will probably change again after the 2020 census? Efforts to control the redistricting are already underway. So too are efforts to reform the partisan mapping of congressional districts, known as gerrymandering, that has long vexed the U.S. system of congressional representation. Gerrymandering's impact on voters is explained in Franklin Kury's lucid and timely book, Gerrymandering: A Guide to Congressional Redistricting, Dark Money, and the U.S. Supreme Court. It relates current practices to a dramatic history of legislation, court cases, and constitutional amendments and furnishes citizens with a "toolbox" for engaging in the process that in many states weakens the power of their votes. Kury's book offers crucial information about the threat of "dark money" and proposed reforms to the U.S. system of congressional representation. It concludes with an appraisal of the Supreme Court's upcoming decision on several cases of alleged gerrymandering. According to Kury, nothing less than revolution could be on the way. Written in accessible language and illustrated with helpful maps and photographs, Gerrymandering is recommended for concerned citizens, students in political science and government courses, and those seeking a deeper understanding of America's unique democracy.
