"This is a serious book by an exceptionally thoughtful, learned scholar." Canadian Journal of Sociology Online

"This is a fine book. It is also an honest book. It avoids easy rhetoric and facile posturing. It will, no doubt, annoy some of its readers. It contributes to an important debate, the significance of which extendds beyond the confines of the American academy." Jeremy Jennings, Social Forces This book provides a new account of the role of the intellectual in democracy. Arguing that society suffers from a systemic deliberation deficit, Jeffrey Goldfarb explores the potential of the intellectual as democratic agent, civilising political contestation and subverting complacent consensus. Intellectuals are special kinds of 'strangers' who pay careful attention to their critical faculties and are uniquely equipped to address the most pressing issues of today. A diverse set of intellectuals in action are analysed, from Socrates to Central European political dissidents, from Malcolm X to Toni Morrison. MORE EBOOKS:
