Omschrijving

A lucid doorway into the making of modern liberty, Democracy In America, Volume 1 opens a keen window on how citizens shape their own destinies. Alexis de Tocqueville's enduring analysis stands at the crossroads of political science classics and non fiction historical analysis. This edition revives a 19th-century political treatise that surveys 1830s America with lucid, humane clarity, exploring democracy and equality, the tyranny of the majority, and the delicate balance between liberty and social order. Tocqueville's reflections on civil society and associations illuminate how voluntary groups, neighbours, and local institutions sustain freedom even amid vast national change. Restored for today's readers, the work remains deeply relevant to students, teachers and researchers seeking a grounded understanding of political life, governance, and culture. The book's questions about power, participation, and the interplay between individuals and institutions still resonate as a practical guide to civic engagement and responsible citizenship. Its tone blends literary reverence with accessible insight, inviting both curious readers and classic-literature collectors to enter a conversation that shaped modern political thought. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is more than a reprint - it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A thoughtfully restored classic that travels beyond the page, inviting reflection on democracy, Montesquieu's influence, and the French roots of modern political philosophy in antebellum America.
