    Congressional Travels

    Places, Connections and Authenticity

    Synopsis

    This engaging text by renowned author Richard Fenno argues that authenticity– knowing what a representative is like in his district and looking beyond mere roll call voting–contributes significantly to understanding the full body of work done by our members of Congress. Showcasing the author’s trademark “homespun” narrative style, Congressional Travels: Congress, Connections and Authenticity posits that the best way to gain a sense of authenticity is to observe representatives at home, with their constituents, in their districts.
