Paperback. Condizione: Good. After eight years of George Bush's America, we are at a critical juncture in our nation's history, when we can put forth a new and bolder kind of democracy. Just as the Civil Rights Movement opened the doors for blacks and other people of color, for women, for the LGBT community, the rise of Barack Obama to the presidency -- and the post-Bush society we now encounter -- opens new possibilities for our democracy.

Open Letters to America is writer Kevin Powell's celebration of the sudden, mass political engagement of America's youth, and Americans in general; his thoughts in the aftermath of Obama's magical and historic presidential campaign; and his open acknowledgment that if 21st-century America is going to be the great world democracy it promises to be, it will be Generations X and Y that make it so.…
