About the Author Sheldon S.
Fugitive Democracy offers enduring insights into many of today\'s most pressing political predicaments, and introduces a whole new generation of readers to this provocative figure in contemporary political thought.
Wolin critically engages a diverse range of political theorists, and grapples with topics such as power, modernization, the sixties, revolutionary politics, and inequality, all the while showcasing enduring commitment to writing civic-minded theoretical commentary on the most pressing political issues of the day.
This book brings together his most important writings, from classic Essays to his late radical Essays on American democracy such as "Fugitive Democracy," in which he offers a controversial reinterpretation of democracy as an episodic phenomenon distinct from the routinized political management that passes for democracy today.
In Fugitive Democracy , the breathtaking range of Wolin\'s scholarship, political commitment, and critical acumen are on full display in this authoritative and accessible collection of essays.
