Description
Pursuing themes from Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, this volume brings together nine leading political scientists from India and the United States to deliberate on the two largest democracies in the world. The book explores two opposed democratic journeys—from relative social equality and racial inequality to equal civil rights and economic inequality in the US; and deep social and economic inequalities to contested forms of equal citizenship in India. It discusses the concepts of citizenship, religion, capitalism, equality, and minorities. The essays also examine the specific historical and cultural formations within which each democracy works. Integrating diverse ideas from varied parts of the globe, the volume represents a unique attempt at understanding contemporary democratic practices in the two nations. Contributors • Rajeev Bhargava • Daniel Carpenter • Partha Chatterjee • Niraja Gopal Jayal • Ira Katznelson • Sudipta Kaviraj • Margaret Levi • Rogers M. Smith • Ashutosh Varshney
