"Neither democracy nor democratic theory is automatically pluralist. Diversity is a challenge to both. Democratic Theorizing from the Margins clarifies crucial issues in the demanding assimilation to elite styles and norms."
—Craig Calhoun, Professor of Sociology and History, NYU
"In Democratic Theorizing from the Margins, Brettschneider moves beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries to create a democratic theory from the work of activists. This book is an original and important contribution to debates amongst democratic theorists, feminist thinkers and organizers, as well as debates concerning multicultural theory and politics. It is written in a lively and engaging manner and will appeal to a wide audience of scholars and students."
