The State You See

"""The State You See offers a welcome and timely addition to the growing literature on public policy and political inequality. Rosenthal's consideration of the racialized feedback effects of multiple policy experiences fills a critical lacuna in our collective understanding of the politics of public policy."" --Mallory E. SoRelle, Duke University--Mallory E. SoRelle ""In The State You See (TSYS) Rosenthal argues that policy in the post-civil rights era has developed such that it is unequally visible to White and Black Americans, and this inequality in turn leads to different responses to declining trust in public institutions. Rosenthal's book takes up the important task of integrating well known but disparate findings around criminal justice system, public welfare provision, and racial and ethnic politics into a unified theory of racialized policy feedbacks. The State You See represents a major step forward in the study of political learning, and the capacity for the state to shape citizens' attitudes and behaviors."" --Hannah Walker, University of Texas at Austin --Hannah Walker ""By bridging multiple fields of study and literatures within those fields, The State You See unifies previously disjointed findings in a way that furthers our understanding of how public policy shapes attitudes, behavior, and trust in government. The State You See makes an immense contribution to literatures in political science, public policy, and criminal justice."" --Perspectives on Politics-- ""Perspectives on Politics"""
