Dynamic, valuable work! With clarity and poignant daring, Eddie Glaude Jr. presents a stark, bold challenge to politically active black Americans to change the nation--again. With statements like, "There are those among us willing to turn their backs on democracy to safeguard their privilege" and "No one can be comfortable," he challenges the reader's courage and imagination to ignite or join a truly valuable revolution. This is a revolution includes a change in how we view government; a change in how we view black people; and a change in how we view what ultimately matters to us as Americans. This revolution would close what he defines as the "value gap" and (perhaps) level systemic inequalities. Although not strong on direct steps to action, Democracy is Black's historical, social, and economic analysis are valuable tools for strategic organizing.
