Democracy Résumé

Democracy: The Long Revolution David Powell

This accessible yet authoritative collection of essays chronicles the history of dissent in the British Isles, from Magna Carta to the present day. The contributors - all specialists in their field - cover such milestones as the age of revolution, industrialisation and the foundation of the Labour Party. Tony Benn contributes a powerful, final extended chapter arguing that "we are light years away from being a true democracy."

Democracy Avis

"Britain is the traditional land of dissent, of dissent not only in its religious connotation but of dissent itself." John Strachey"
