Rethinking Revolution - New Strategies for Democracy and Social Justice
Rethinking Revolution - New Strategies for Democracy and Social Justice by Dan Connell
In Rethinking Revolution - New Strategies for Democracy and Social Justice, author Dan Connell looks at four revolutionary movements in Eritrea, South Africa, Palestine, and Nicaragua to understand their experiences and evolving thinking on achieving social justice and democracy after the end of the Cold War. Some key questions raised: What do we mean by democracy and its various components? How much does context shape it? How essential is popular participation? What works and does not work in making revolution today? The book argues democracy within movements and societies, not just ideals of justice, is key for revolutionary success now. It offers insights into creative post-Cold War era thinking on fostering popular democracy and social justice.
