Government, Law and Society
This document hopes to integrate political contexts into common reading practices,
to show the impact of politics on daily life. With collections that don't compress
issues into four-minute morality plays (as the television news do at their most
comprehensive), this collection may enable readers to find connections with peoples
around the world who live under the global socioeconomic system which affects us all.
This hypertext is under development; if you have any problems (or comments or
criticism), send mail to <webmaster@eserver.org>.
Census
The 1990 U.S. Census was received with considerable skepticism by activists, who
have argued it sytematically underrepresents the poor and homeless. Nevertheless,
census data are the only source on the Internet for demographic information
about U.S. residents, so we offer them here reluctantly, with a caveat. We have
also specific information from the census by state
and by city, town, or place.
Of course, you may also connect directly to the U.S. Census computer itself,
and view its recent news releases by date.
