In “Democracy Matters,” Cornel West analyzes the stunted growth of democracy in America and the Middle East. He argues that America’s history of imperialist corruption hinders its ability to promote democracy globally. West links racism, imperial expansionism, and militarism, critiquing America’s Constantinian Christianity and corporate elites. He calls for reviving America’s democratic spirit, inspired by the civil rights movement, to address its role in a troubled world. 9780143035831
