Democracy Matters - Cornel West (CD)
Title: [Title] Title: Democracy Matters: Winning the Fight Against Imperialism Author: Cornel West Genre: Non Fiction, History Format: CD, 6 CD’s, 7 hrs (Unabridged) Synopsis: "Democracy Matters is Cornel West's critique of the troubling deterioration of democracy in America in this threatening post-9/11 age - and a call for the revitalization of the deep democratic tradition in our country, which has waged war on the forces of imperialist corruption throughout our history. Americans must take back our democracy, and in this call to arms, Cornel West shows the way." West, in this sequel to his classic Race Matters, returns to the analysis of what he calls the arrested development of democracy with a masterful diagnosis. He points to the rise of three antidemocratic dogmas that are rendering the energy of American democracy impotent: a callous free-market fundamentalism, an aggressive militarism, and an insidious authoritarianism. Review: AudioFile This audiobook certainly lacks nothing in sincerity, personal style, commitment. However, its obfuscating prose makes Professor West's deeply felt points about America's past, current, and future political struggles much harder to understand than if he emulated one of his idols, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. West's pinched, raspy yet somehow jazzy delivery reminds one of a Spike Lee production—if it were one long close-up of Cornell West's face and discussed only intricate policy points welded to humanistic fervor. While this audiobook makes some excellent points, West would benefit from a good editor to help him deliver his points with more impact. We need a voice like his—if only it were more accessible.
