Bid on one of Dr. Cornel West's signed legacies of scholarship and be continuously enlightened.

Democracy Matters is a “brilliant and deeply moving call for the revival of our better democratic nature.”  Cornel West “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 – and argues that racism and imperial bullying have gone hand in hand in our country’s inexorable drive toward world dominance (our current militaristic excesses).  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.”
