Jacques Rancière 
Hatred of Democracy 

In this vehement defence of democracy, Jacques Ranci�re explodes the complacency of Western politicians who pride themselves as the defenders of political freedom. As America and its allies use their military might in the misguided attempt to export a desiccated version democracy, and reactionary strands in mainstream political opinion abandon civil liberties, Ranci�re argues that true democracy-government by all-is held in profound contempt by the new ruling class. In a compelling and timely analysis,
Hatred of Democracy rethinks the subversive power of the democratic ideal.
