About this product
Product Information
Dick Simpson draws upon his fifty-year career as a legislator, campaign strategist, and government advisor to examine the challenges confronting Americans in their struggle to build the United States as a multiracial, multiethnic democracy. Using Chicago as an example, Simpson examines how the political, racial, economic, and social inequalities dividing the nation play out in our neighborhoods and cities. His investigation of our current crisis and its causes delves into issues like money in politics, low voter participation, the politics of resentment, political corruption, and a host of structural problems. But Democracy's Rebirth goes beyond analysis. Simpson lays out a sober, practical manifesto meant to inspire people everywhere to educate themselves and do the hard work of creating the kind of strong institutions that will allow true democracy to flourish.

Reviews
"Simpson's book provides a thorough diagnosis for what's gone wrong with the country's democratic ideals." -- NewCity, "By highlighting the lessons of a generation ago, when US cities navigated the transition to multiracial democracy, Simpson has composed a self-proclaimed 'manifesto' to examine how what we have learned locally might help us nationally." -- Perspectives on Politics, " Democracy's Rebirth . . . is about politics, justice and democracy in a very down-to-earth manner. Simpson isn't only an expert on sausage-making. He also knows how the mechanisms of government and policy work--and how they should work--so he goes into the nitty-gritty of what has been going wrong with democracy in the United States and offers very detailed how-to instructions for bringing the nation's democratic process back to full health. But his ultimate focus is on the importance of individual Americans." -- Third Coast Review, "His proposals represent nothing short of the rebirth of our democracy on both a local level and the national level--values that I have personally fought for in my mayoral campaign and administration. Democracy's Rebirth: The View from Chicago helps illuminate both our past and our way forward toward a government and society that are more fair, equitable, and effective for all its residents, and a successful future that we can all equally engage and benefit from."--Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot, from the Foreword, "Dick Simpson, a friend and colleague for many years, writes from real-life experience. As a former Chicago alderman and political scientist, he knows what he is writing about in Democracy's Rebirth . He helps us see a better future."--Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
