Emergent Publics An Essay on Social Movements and Democracy

Critical thinker Ian Angus argues for a radical redefinition of democracy. He wrests the concept of democracy away from the notion that a citizen's only real activity is voting, and argues for a real participatory model. This short and accessible book looks at the roots of democratic institutions, showing how they originated in social movements and the forms of communication and interaction within those movements.Angus, Ian H. is the author of 'Emergent Publics An Essay on Social Movements and Democracy' with ISBN 9781894037136 and ISBN 1894037138.
