How can we create and sustain an America that never was, but should
be? How can we build a truly multiracial democracy in which
everyone is valued and possesses the needed political, economic and
social capital so that democracy becomes a meaningful way of life,
for all citizens? By critically probing these questions, the
editors of Community Wealth Building and the Reconstruction of
American Democracy seize the opportunity to bridge the gap between
our democratic aspirations and our current reality. Â In a
moment of democratic disappointment and anxiety, politicians,
policy officials, scholars and citizens desire an effective
response. This book assembles new voices and novel perspectives
that offer a compelling vision for democracy and the prospects and
possibilities afforded by community wealth building, an emerging
policy paradigm focused on community-based, creative solutions to
systemic problems. The contributors explore how, by cultivating the
capacities of citizens, American democracy can be revived - indeed,
created - as a veritable practice of everyday life. Scholars of
democracy in political science, history, sociology, public policy,
economics, African-American studies and related topics as well as
policy practitioners, journalists and students will appreciate the
cutting-edge work by leading scholars and the contributions from
impactful practitioners from the White House to City Halls, in this
discussion of the challenges facing contemporary American democracy
and the prospects for reform and change.
