Climbing the Hill explores the history and current status of women members and staff on Capitol Hill. It traces the difficult history of women in Congress, their slow and painful path to political power and their hopes and fears of today. It presents a comprehensive analysis of women's success at the polls and within the congressional hierarchy—legislatively, politically, and socially. Through in-depth research and extensive personal interviews, the authors reveal the deep-rooted sexual divisions within the U.S. Congress and the continuing struggle of women to break into the old boy network. The book's comprehensive coverage is unique and up-to-date and will be of interest to scholars, students, and interested layreaders.

"In the Last Plantation, James Jones uses the plantation metaphor to investigate how Congress operates as a racialized governing institution, a state body organized through racism that imposes the rules that structure our society along racial lines. He develops his argument in two parts by analyzing the career experiences of Black congressional workers. First, he shows how the congressional workplace produces inequality. Lawmakers' decisions to exempt themselves from the regulations that they impose on other employers have led to insular work processes that perpetuate racial inequality. They have created and managed an unequal workplace where positions are racially stratified, space is segregated, and identities and interactions are racialized. This hierarchy constrains the agency of non-White workers and leads to the credentialing of a White power elite. Second, he demonstrates how Black workers from legislative staffers to cafeteria servers have fought back against these unequal work processes and injustices on Capitol Hill. He shows how Black workers have reimagined Congress as a black capitol, a site of minority empowerment where they have used their institutional positions to promote racial justice. Examining these processes, The Last Plantation argues that Congress and its workplace operate both as sites of oppression and, through the labor of Black workers, as sites of resistance. By exploring the Last Plantation from "above" and "below," Jones shows both how racism is maintained by this governing institution and how racism is confronted. Through this argument, he develops a theory of legislative inequality to show how the unequal distribution of resources and rewards among workers influences the creation of public policy and the organization of the American political system. He draws on interviews with 75 congressional staffers, archival research, ethnographic observations, and statistical analysis of personnel records"--

Congress: Games and Strategies, fourth edition, is an up-to-date look at the 21st century Congress from the perspective of a professional political scientist and congressional staff member turned academic. As such, it provides both academic and real-world insights into the unique and often impenetrable world of our national legislature. Using the most recent academic literature as well as quotes from current members of Congress, it seeks to explore the overlap between theory and reality. The book uses a game analogy as an organizing theme and as a toolbox, recognizing that much of Congress' activity is understood by analyzing the players, the rules under which they work, the strategies they employ and the pattern of winning and losing that result. Updated through the 2008 election, the book includes a host of features intended to enhance comprehension, including boxes that allow students to hear what congressmen and congresswomen themselves say about the institution.
