What Does the American Presidency Mean? by Richard Holtzman
What Does the American Presidency Mean? The Need for Interpretation in Presidency Studies makes a compelling case for how interpretivism contributes to our understanding of the American presidency. This brief book is accessible and inviting, regardless of a readers background in presidency studies or interpretivism.
Richard Holtzman has done what many strive for and few accomplish, namely present sophisticated insights in language that is approachable and unpretentiousHoltzman's core argument is that we cannot study the presidency without interpreting the presidency—that we must understand what the presidency is and means before we can establish what presidents do and how they do it. Interpretative research, Holtzman shows, thus forms the epistemic foundation on which presidency scholarship necessarily stands. Scholars from diverse backgrounds and methodologies will gain immensely from this book, which deserves to become a standard on graduate reading lists in American politics.
