Dean Caivano

A Politics of All

Thomas Jefferson and Radical Democracy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this heterodox reading of Thomas Jefferson, Dean Caivano proposes a theory of democracy conceived through a politics of all. Democracy from this standpoint does not entail liberal consensus-building but rejects hierarchical forms of authority, supplanted by ongoing political resistance by "the people" to obtain freedom and equality.
