Description: Democracy's Reconstruction : Thinking Politically With W. E. B. Du Bois, Hardcover by Balfour, Lawrie, ISBN 019537729X, ISBN-13 9780195377293, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK In Democracys Reconstruction, the latest addition to Cathy Cohen and Fredrick Harriss Transgressing Boundaries series, noted political theorist Lawrie Balfour challenges a longstanding tendency in political theory: the disciplinary division that separates political theory proper from the
study of black politics. Political theory rarely engages with black political thinkers, despite the fact that the problem of racial inequality is central to the entire enterprise of American political theory. To address this lacuna, she focuses on the political thought of . Du Bois,
particularly his longstanding concern with the relationship between slaverys legacy and the prospects for democracy in the era he lived in. Balfour utilizes Du Bois as an intellectual resource, applying his method of addressing contemporary problems via the historical prism of slavery to address
some of the fundamental racial divides and inequalities in contemporary America. By establishing his theoretical method to study these historical connections, she positions Du Boiss work in the political theory canon--similar to the status it already has in history, sociology, philosophy, and
literature.
