    House Members in Their Districts

    Synopsis

    Home Style: House Members in Their Districts, the landmark study of eighteen representatives of Congress in their districts, won the 1979 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Ward and the 1980 D.B. Hardeman Prize. The text presents a coherent picture of what elected house members see when they view their constituencies, and how these perceptions affect their political behavior. During nearly eight years of research the author accompanied eighteen representatives of diverse backgrounds in their districts for a unique “over-the-shoulder” perspective on congressional home style. Professor Fenno’s observational approach is enlivened with many examples and lends itself to a readable analysis.
