Reviews
'Jeff Jackson rescues the radicalism of John Dewey's political thought from his deliberative inheritors to put the struggle against social inequality back at the center of democratic theory. Equality Beyond Debate is a powerful and original book that provokes us to rethink what participatory democracy can mean in unequal times.' Alexander Livingston, Cornell University and author of Damn Great Empires!: William James and the Politics of Pragmatism
'... his consistently insightful exposition deserves a wide audience.' Samuel Bagg, The Review of Politics
