Democracy and digressions in Cornel West's new book

Some 10 years after "Race Matters," Cornel West has published "Democracy Matters." The subtitle "Winning the fight against imperialism" adequately encapsulates the unambiguous invective against three antidemocratic dogmas espoused by the neo-conservative hawks of the Bush administration ?
