Democracy Matters
"Democracy Matters is Cornel West's critique of the troubling deterioration of democracy in America in this threatening post-9/11 age - and a call for the revitalization of the deep democratic tradition in our country, which has waged war on the forces of imperialist corruption throughout our history. Americans must take back our democracy, and in this call to arms, Cornel West shows the way." "West, in this sequel to his classic Race Matters, returns to the analysis of what he calls the arrested development of democracy with a masterful diagnosis. He points to the rise of three antidemocratic dogmas that are rendering the energy of American democracy impotent: a callous free-market fundamentalism, an aggressive militarism, and an insidious authoritarianism."--BOOK JACKET.
