Reviews for Bound by Recognition
Winner of the Best First Book Award, Foundations of Political Theory Section of the American Political Science Association "[Markell's] arguments are closely reasoned, provocative, and supported by clever, frequent reference to the theoretical literature and to historical and contemporary cases. The language is clear but technical, and though relatively jargon-free, requires that the reader actually think rather than simply 'read.'"
