The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Our Global Issues & Ethics Book Group is devoted to discussing books that cover the most relevant topics of our everyday lives. Our April selection is Wrestling with the Angel of Democracy: On Being an American Citizen by Susan Griffin. In this provocative work, Griffin charts the rise and fall of our society's highest values—equality, truth, and freedom—from the Declaration of Independence to the Iraq War. Combining contemplative memoir with social and political history, she explores both the inward and outward dimensions of our democracy. She argues compellingly that the dawning of American democracy represented nothing less than a revolution of consciousness, one that is still unfolding today. Booklist in a starred review said, "With a light, yet devastating touch, Griffin charts our continued 'wrestling' with democratic ideals—her incisive search for the soul of democracy stirs up pride, despair, and hope."
