Description
Democracy in Black explores what it truly means to practice democracy in a society shaped by racial hierarchy, political exclusion, and the long afterlife of slavery. Drawing on history, philosophy, and contemporary political life, it follows how Black thought and activism challenge the limits of “freedom” as it has been defined—and defended—by the nation. With a focus on moral urgency and collective responsibility, the book examines the tensions between democratic ideals and the realities of power, asking readers to consider what justice requires now. Written in Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.’s incisive, accessible style, it offers a compelling framework for understanding citizenship, resistance, and the ongoing struggle to make democracy more than a promise.
