Green argues for a concept of democracy that moves beyond the conflict between the individual and community, quietism and activism, multiculturalism and monoculturalism, and theory in opposition to practice. In a house of darkness, a world plagued by ethnic wars, class conflict, and sexual exploitation, a strenuously researched and masterfully argued account of what democracy should mean is a welcomed beacon.' -Leonard Harris, Purdue University. 'In this carefully researched and well-written volume, Judith Green moves philosophy off the drawing board into the rough-and-tumble world where life and death decisions re made. Her key theme is location-specific action based on experimentalism pluralism, and radical democracy. And her goal is nothing less than the transformation of culture from the street corner to the global marketplace. In her hands, Philosophy becomes a set of public tasks.' -Larry A. Hickman, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. (~from the back cover). Includes bibliographical references and index. xv, 243 p. ; 24 cm.
