About DEMOCRACY IN BLACK

Part manifesto, part history, part memoir, Eddie S. Glaude Jr.'s book argues that we live in a country founded on a “value gap”—with white lives valued more than others—that still distorts our politics today. Whether discussing why all Americans have racial habits that reinforce inequality, why black politics based on the civil-rights era have reached a dead end, or why only remaking democracy from the ground up can bring real change, Glaude crystallizes the untenable position of black America–and offers thoughts on a better way forward. Forceful in ideas and unsettling in its candor, DEMOCRACY IN BLACK is a landmark book on race in America, one that promises to spark wide discussion as we move toward the end of our first black presidency.
