Mark Tushnet, The Constitution of the United States of America: A Contextual Analysis

Chapters 19 and 20, the split being the obvious one between rationale and procedure in the first of the two chapters and grounds and remedies in the second. A final chapter on “grievance mechanisms”, dealing with tribunals, inquiries and ombudsmen follows in probably its natural position, but it does look a little dwarfed by its predecessors. To this point, the reader of this review will have picked up one or two slight irritations in the reviewer about position and space given to various issues. This should be seen as observation and comment rather than criticism. The book, as a whole, is very accessible and will be of use to students. The layout is user friendly in the way of the series to which this belongs, has helpful diagrams and flow charts, and has useful summaries and chapter end revision questions as well as suggestions for further reading. In the preface, the author says topics are broken into “bite size” sections, and the subject matter is dealt with none the less fully for the use of this technique. This is neither one of the “old classics” of the constitutional and administrative law stable nor one of the pared-down revision texts. It stands alone as a very respectable text for use when the topics are being discussed, but also signposts further reading for the keener student. At revision time, the “bite size” chunks and friendly and familiar layout will serve the student well to dip in and dip out to look up specific areas of the subject. All in all, this is one of the growing middle ground of texts which lecturers should be happy to recommend in the knowledge that there is something in it for students of all abilities. Inevitably these days, there are supporting interactive resources.
