OverviewWhile Alexis de Tocqueville described America as the 'absolute democracy, ' Karl Marx saw the nation as a 'defiled republic' so long as it permitted the enslavement of blacks. August J. Nimtz argues that Marx, unlike Tocqueville, not only recognized that the overthrow of slavery and the cessation of racial oppression were central to democracy's realization but was willing to act on these convictions. This potent and insightful investigation into the approaches of two major thinkers provides fresh insight into past and present debates about race and democracy in America Full Product DetailsAuthor: August H Nimtz, Jr.Publisher: Lexington Books Imprint: Lexington Books ISBN: 9781299796713ISBN 10: 1299796710 Pages: 313 Publication Date: 01 January 2003 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Electronic book text Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
