The Democratic Gulag is a provocative, comprehensive investigation
of the pervasive and transparent power of patriarchy in social
evolution and contemporary society. It asserts that we live in a
well-constructed ideological, intellectual and social gulag of
patriarchal values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that is
created through the primary social institutions that we see as the
foundations of modern civilization. The book is an in-depth
academic study of the role of patriarchy in shaping modern social
values and a comprehensive and contemporary cross-contextual
analysis of the seminal role and paradoxes of patriarchy as the
meta-ideology of human history. Employing the perspective of
critical theory, it traces patriarchy through history to our
contemporary world by examining its role in shaping democracy,
education, religion, politics, economics, leadership and gender
relationships. It suggests that rather than a social/historical
curiosity, patriarchy is an under-theorized, active and virulent
agent that continues to be the foundational source of our global
social dysfunction. Without deconstructing and altering its
ideological core as well as its complex and multidisciplinary role
in our present and future society, positive human social
organization is unsustainable. It argues for the necessity of
developing democratic and open leadership and governmental and
personal relationships that will liberate humanity and create a
post-patriarchal world.
