- This book explores why radical democracy is necessary, and why it is important to understand it as an educative activity. Exploring examples from the 19th century until today, the book provides a critical reading of the ‘crisis of hope’ in neoliberal capitalist societies, focusing on the problem of the ‘contraction of possibilities’ for democratic agency, resistance to domination, and practices of freedom. It argues that radically democratic thinking and practice are vital for countering and overcoming systemic hegemonies. It also invites new dialogues between theorists of neoliberal power those engaged in projects for radical democratization.
