"Why multi-racial democracy in America is at risk if we don't learn the lessons of history"--

Recenzje

?Richard Johnson?s brilliant comparison of America?s ?two reconstructions? powerfully argues that multiracial democracy in the U.S. is under real threat. But Johnson does more than wake us up. He also outlines the politics that can address the crisis.? Rick Valelly, Swarthmore College ?Johnson?s analysis of the two Reconstructions convincingly ?lays waste to the blithe narratives of American exceptionalism? by arguing that only a forceful commitment to a multi-racial party politics and the Re-Construction of anti-democratic institutions can lead the U.S. towards a more democratic and inclusive future. A sobering read.? Kimberley Johnson, New York University
