Presented in a modern, library-quality, and authorized hardcover edition from Quid Pro Books, TVA AND THE GRASS ROOTS is the famous and influential study of politics in action at all levels in the creation and expansion of the Tennessee Valley Authority -- with all its land use, agricultural, political and human effects. Landmark application of political and social theory coupled with prodigious research and insightful analysis have made this a legendary work. • Now republished in print and digital formats in the Classics of the Social Sciences Series from Quid Pro, this acclaimed book is presented to a new generation of social scientists and historians with a substantive new Foreword by Berkeley law professor Jonathan Simon. 'As Selznick shows with brilliant clarity,' Simon notes, 'the Authority began from the very start a strategy of cooptation and accommodation with powerful local institutions in the states in which it operated, a strategy that would fatally compromise its ability to change the structure of inequality and economic stagnation in the region.' • The Quid Pro Books edition includes embedded page numbers from prior editions for continuity of referencing and citation. It is reproduced in a contemporary, legible presentation with accurate proofreading of the original -- not a ’facsimile’ (photocopy) of the earlier, superseded versions or an optically scanned mishmash of text and notes, as other presses currently distribute.
