Governance Salon with Jamila Michener, Cornell University

Jamila Michener (Cornell University) will be discussing her new book Fragmented Democracy.

Unpacking how federalism transforms Medicaid beneficiaries’ interpretations of government and structures their participation in politics, this book examines American democracy from the vantage point(s) of those who are living in or near poverty, (disproportionately) black or Latino, and reliant on a federated government for vital resources.
