Description
"As pundits pronounce American democracy gridlocked, obsolete, or dead, The American Promise journeys into communities, neighborhoods, and voluntary organizations around the country to find democracy flourishing where citizens are making it work. In provocative, inspiring stories and powerful photos, this celebration of democracy in action is a field trip beyond ideology and into the real world where ordinary people live the promise of democratic action and self-government every day." "The show more American Promise, as seen on PBS, shows people struggling with the limits of freedom, gaining political power, protecting their environment, creating community, rebuilding cities, and forging consensus."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
