Dear Comrads, I would like to recommend a new book for college classes you might be teaching, libraries or your own edification. Here is some information about the book. Democracy Denied: Five Lectures on U.S. Politics by Victor Wallace Introduction by Johanna Fernandez; Illustrations by Kevin "Rashid" Johnson The United States, among advanced countries, has the greatest inequality, the highest poverty rate, the highest portion of its population imprisoned, the highest proportion without adequate healthcare, the most severe obstacles to universal suffrage, and the most extreme official disdain for the threat of ecological disaster.This book, originating as a lecture series, presents a historically grounded perspective on these traits, including chapters on "American exceptionalism," on U.S. imperialism, on the trajectory of African- descended people in the United States, on efforts to develop a socialist alternative to the dominant institutions, and on the current configuration of U.S. politics. The presentation is concise yet rich in illustrative examples. Basic institutions and processes areintroduced in such a way as to be understandable to readers without prior knowledge of the subject matter.
