Omschrijving
This volume is a thorough re-examination of civil unrest and discontent in the United States, particularly the intersection of democracy and violence.
"Daniel Monti’s American Democracy and Disconsent: Liberalism and Illiberalism in Ferguson, Charlottesville, Black Lives Matter, and the Capitol Insurrection is a fresh, deeply original interpretation of violence in America. It stands on a strongly argued foundation of social learning about the exigencies of living together in a multiethnic, multireligious society."
– Donald L. Horowitz, author of The Deadly Ethnic Riot
"This lively and engaging book about civil unrest and 'disconsent' in America today is timely. When most of us across the world are pessimistic about the stability of American democracy, Daniel Monti manages to discuss the competing forces of liberalism and illiberalism – in Ferguson, Charlottesville, Black Lives Matter, and even the January 6 Capitol insurrection – and yet remain relatively optimistic. Let us hope he is right!"
– Professor Stephen Mennell, University College Dublin
