Oh crap, yes. I forgot to mention that. See, typical American behavior. Sorry!

Hmmm. It's hard to think of books that are general, and good, and recent. I mean, stuff about the actual constitution and practice of American government is relatively easy - one thing I might recommend is "How Democratic Is The American Constitution" by Robert Dahl - but history & ideology is much harder and more complex. Aaaaaand also I'm very lazy so instead of recommending something I'm going to link a couple of essays. The first is a real classic of American political thought from 1964 called "The Paranoid Style In American Politics", and the second is a recent editorial piece from the Washington Post:

Paranoid Style

The other thing I would recommend is going out and finding some stuff that's specifically about economic inequality and African-American experience in America and stuff on that level, because it's enormously illuminating.
