"In Democracy Deferred, David W. Woods relates a story of civic engagement from his personal perspective as a participant observer. ... This book ... raise the important strategic question about how citizens can influence decision making in representative democracy. ... most appropriate for graduate students in urban planning who are focused on a career in civic engagement as well as those studying urban sociology."
