Inhoud:

Americans express great confidence in local government. But is this confidence warranted? Using big data, this book examines racial and class inequalities in representation across US municipalities. We find that non-whites and less-affluent residents are consistent losers in local democracy. We suggest revisions to reforms to enhance political equality.
