Brian Duff's new book, Parent as Citizen, reviewed by Boston Phoenix

The Boston Phoenix on March 9, 2011 reviewed Associate Professor of Political Science Brian Duff's new book, The Parent As Citizen: A Democratic Dilemma. The reviewer, Jeff Inglis, explains that Duff  "specifically chronicles the hazards — including intolerance, fundamentalism, fear, and disempowerment — that appear when equating a democracy with leaders and citizens to a family with parents and children. ... This is not a prescriptive work, but rather illustrates a heretofore unseen problem, asking others to study it, examine it, learn from it, and perhaps ultimately forge a solution to this failing intellectual model of our failing political system."
