Description

Edited by Steven Fraser and Joshua B. Freeman
Mariner Books

Audacious Democracy represents a historic collaboration between leading American intellectuals and labor movement activists. These original essays, which grew out of the nationally acclaimed and award-winning “Teach-In with the Labor Movement” held at Columbia University in October 1996, address the central dilemma of our time: How can a newly revitalized and combative labor movement challenge the corporate domination of American life and help win the fight for social justice, economic security, and a more “audacious democracy”? This collection is must reading for all intellectuals and activists concerned with the possibility of social change over the next decade.
