Hatred of Democracy (Radical Thinkers)

Hatred of Democracy (Radical Thinkers)

In this vehement defence of democracy, Jacques RanciÃ¨re explodes the complacency of Western politicians who pride themselves as the defenders of political freedom. As America and its allies use their military might in the misguided attempt to export a desiccated version democracy, and reactionary strands in mainstream political opinion abandon civil liberties, RanciÃ¨re argues that true democracyâ€”government by allâ€”is held in profound contempt by the new ruling class. In a compelling and timely analysis, Hatred of Democracy rethinks the subversive power of the democratic ideal.
