New Book Coming in Winter 2025
Civics 4 All founder Roneka Matheny has partnered with Amplify Publishing Group to create Civics 4 All: A Survival Guide to American Government and Politics, the ultimate civics refresher course for everyday Americans. The book is scheduled for release this Fall, just in time for the 2025 holiday season.
Think of it as a one-on-one civics refresher course designed to help you learn on your time and at your own pace.
I’ll be your personal guide on a journey through the history, structure, and functions of America’s government. Along the way, I’ll answer your most pressing questions about how government works and explain how we got to America's current political landscape.
Overview
The book begins with a spark, drawing readers in with a personal story about the moment that sparked my lifelong interest in politics. Then it redefines civic education as a tool for cutting through political spin and holding politicians accountable.
This book takes readers on an educational journey that discusses:
- The history of civic education
- The Executive Branch
- The Legislative Branch
- The Judicial Branch
- Political parties
- America’s founding and the Declaration of Independence
- Citizenship and immigration
- The Constitution of the United States
- All 27 constitutional amendments
- Elections and public opinion polling
Along the way, I include commentary, personal stories, and a little bit of humor to keep things interesting.
The journey wraps up with a call for a new community education movement. The truth is, America's schools are not responsible for our civic education. It's time to start thinking outside of the classroom and take responsibility for educating ourselves about the way our government and political system work.
