"This slim book takes on a big question: 'How did the citizens of ancient Athens learn to live in a democracy?' It’s an important question, both for our knowledge of the classical city and for our understanding of how citizenship works in democracies today.. Livingstone’s work is an important reminder that "culture" (political or otherwise) is grounded in face-to-face human interactions. His book is a powerful statement about how much ancient Athens still has to teach us ... it is a worthwhile and compelling read."
