Review\n“In American Political Theology ... Charles W. Dunn ... has admirably fulfilled his modest and useful intention to provide in textbook fashion a dispassionate exposition `of how, why, and when' politics and language intersect.... The essays are, for the most part, intellectually and ethically muscular and will repay reading by anyone who is already fairly well grounded in the Founding.”–Chronicles

The only American Government text to take a comparative approach, Dunn and Slann's text doesn't simply offer comparative material in boxed features, but integrates it throughout the text to help students gain a deeper and more complete vision of our government by comparing and contrasting it to the governments of other nations. The new edition helps students learn what makes American government and politics distinctive and encourages them to see why it has endured for over 200 years. By presenting American government within a comprehensive comparative and global framework, the book exposes students to global issues and helps them to grow in cross-cultural understanding, while at the same time giving them a solid foundation in American government and politics.

In this book Professor Dunn tells of the experiences of the many Gaelic-speaking people of the Highlands and Western Islands who emigrated from Scotland to North America between the end of the eighteenth and the middle of the nineteenth centuries, and their descendants in Nova Scotia He has consulted with care and thoroughness many sources. He has read local histories and sought out scarce Gaelic song-books, pamphlets, and periodicals. He has also observed personally the folkways of the descendants of the Highland settlers and recorded the results of his meeting with professors, teachers, doctors, priests, ministers, farmers, fishermen, and housewives sympathetically and vividly. He has tried to answer the question, What does emigration do to a folk-culture? And he has tried to do so, as far as possible, in the words of his informants. In the course of the book he has provided many examples of writing in Gaelic, with English translations, so that the reader may discover at first hand how closely life and language are related for the Highland settler.
