Nicole Curato

Democracy in a Time of Misery

From Spectacular Tragedies to Deliberative Action

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about the ways in which disaster-affected communities perform their misery to secure political gains. It argues that democratic politics can take root in contexts of widespread depravity and dispossession and is a testament to both the resilience and fragility of the democratic project when faced with existential threats.
