Whose party?

Article Abstract:

The role of the Democratic Party in initiating change in American politics is the focus of Stanley Greenberg and Theda Skocpol's 'The New Majority: Toward a Popular Progressive Politics.' Although the book expounds on the support given by average citizens to the party because of its strong interest on issues such as health care and quality education, the essays also illustrate that the party cannot rely on its popularity among multiple interest groups. Moreover, the role of the American public and the need for increased citizen involvement by the party is also emphasized.

Recent published works on dementia research that deal with the individual's sense of self, the person's rights and attention to the perspectives of people with dementia are discussed.

Article Abstract:
