The Democratic Imagination by James Cairns
The Democratic Imagination examines different conceptions of democracy, exploring tensions that emerge in key moments and debates in the history of democracy, from Ancient Greece to the French Revolution to contemporary Egypt.
Those who read this book will come away with their own thoughts on official democracy and democracy from below, especially since the authors engage on so many different topicsThe goal is to cause readers to think deeply about these issues, and the book does this quite well. It can certainly be integrated into a wide variety of political science and sociology courses, too, because of the effectiveness of the book's overarching frame. -- American Review of Canadian Studies
