“Uncompromising and unconventional . . . Cornel West is an eloquent prophet with attitude.” — Newsweek

"A timely analysis about the current state of democratic systems in America." The Boston Globe

In Democracy Matters, Cornel West argues that if America is to become a better steward of democratization around the world, we must first wake up to the long history of corruption that has plagued our own democracy: racism, free market fundamentalism, aggressive militarism, and escalating authoritarianism.

This impassioned and empowering call for the revitalization of America's democracy, by one of our most distinctive and compelling social critics, will reshape the raging national debate about America's role in today's troubled world.

Stirring, unsettling, inspiring. This is the vision of democracy that we all need. Dr West speaks to issues of equality with a welcoming evangelical zeal that is conspicuously missing from the modern anti-establishment discourse.

All I thought and more. West's writing is thought provoking and insightful. I decided to buy a physical copy after listening so I can truly breakdown and study his philosophical analysis.

Outstanding!!

Both intellectually rich and accessible to a general audience--a rich consideration of the American democratic tradition from an African American perspective
