Politically engaged citizens have been asking this question for far too long. This volume collects perspectives from a wide cross-section of disciplines to explain what drives gerrymandering, why it can be hard to stamp out, and how we might go about fixing it. With topics ranging from the Voting Rights Act to Markov chains to the geography of communities, this book serves as a 21st century toolkit for how we can better approach this corrosive phenomenon. The volume editors gather experts from a variety of fields to provide as many different perspectives on gerrymandering as possible. Thanks to the breadth of expertise found across these chapters, ranging from lawyers to mathematicians to civil rights activists, readers will discover new ways of thinking about redistricting in the United States. Illustrations and helpful walkthroughs appear throughout to clearly explain otherwise complex ideas from these areas. Political Geometry is a must-have for anybody interested in political representation in the United States elections, and for anyone who's ever thought, "There must be a better way to do this". 001445705 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 6, 2022). 001445705 650_0 $$aApportionment (Election law)$$zUnited States. 001445705 650_0 $$aGerrymandering$$zUnited States. 001445705 650_6 $$aRépartition des sièges$$zÉtats-Unis. 001445705 650_6 $$aCirconscriptions électorales$$xRemaniement arbitraire$$zÉtats-Unis. 001445705 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445705 7001_ $$aDuchin, Moon,$$eeditor. 001445705 7001_ $$aWalch, Olivia,$$eeditor. 001445705 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDuchin, Moon$$tPolitical Geometry$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022$$z9783319691602 001445705 852__ $$bebk 001445705 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-69161-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001445705 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1445705$$pGLOBAL_SET 001445705 980__ $$aBIB 001445705 980__ $$aEBOOK 001445705 982__ $$aEbook 001445705 983__ $$aOnline 001445705 994__ $$a92$$bISE
