Sinopsis

Census Impact explores the profound role of the U.S. Census in shaping American politics and resource allocation. More than a simple headcount, the census profoundly influences congressional apportionment, determining how many representatives each state sends to the House. Intriguingly, the historical context reveals that the census has always been intertwined with political debates, exemplified by the "three-fifths compromise," underscoring its deep-seated impact on political power.

 
The book progresses chronologically, tracing the census's evolution, from its origins to modern methodologies. It examines the constitutional mandate for apportionment and analyzes the allocation of billions in federal funding based on census data.

 
The book uniquely offers a data-driven analysis, revealing how demographic shifts and census accuracy directly impact communities, reflecting and reinforcing existing social inequalities while also providing a tool for addressing them.

Frank O'Connor was one of the twentieth century's greatest short story writers, and one of Ireland's greatest authors. Lilliput Press are now delighted to continue our publishing of O'Connor's writing by bringing his seminal work on the art of the short story back into print.   
The Lonely Voice is the definitive work of Irish non-fiction on the art of writing short fiction, and has long been held up as one of the greatest works in global literature on the short form. We are delighted to bring The Lonely Voice back into print with a brand new introduction by Kevin Barry, internationally recognised as one of Ireland's greatests short story writers, whose work - like O'Connor's before him - appears frequently in the New Yorker. Barry engages and parrys with O'Connor's writing, bringing about a meeting of great Irish short story writers from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and bringing this foundational piece of Irish writing to a new generation.   
The ideal companion to works such as George Saunders A Swim in a Pond in the Rain or John Yorke's Into the Woods: How Stories Work and Why we Tell Them.
