Glaude Jr. calls Black democratic perfectionism. Building on the political scientist Adolph Reed's work on 'Black custodial politics' Glaude critiques our impulse to outsource political needs to a professional class of politicians that purportedly represent us. Instead, he affirms the capacities of ordinary people to cultivate a better self and a better world by locating the prophetic and the heroic not in the pulpit but in the pew"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001553134 520__ $$aEddie S. Glaude Jr. weaves personal anecdotes and meditations to offer a positive vision for Black politics: the importance of ordinary people assuming the mantle of leaders and heroes our democracy desperately needs. To build a better world, we must cultivate our best selves, not rely on the professional politicians who purportedly represent us. 001553134 5880_ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (ProQuest Ebook Central platform, viewed April 16, 2024). 001553134 650_6 $$aNoirs américains$$xPolitique et gouvernement. 001553134 650_6 $$aParticipation politique$$zÉtats-Unis. 001553134 650_6 $$aActivistes$$zÉtats-Unis. 001553134 650_7 $$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / American / African American & Black Studies$$2bisacsh 001553134 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xPolitics and government.$$vBiography$$0(DLC)sh2009113944 001553134 650_0 $$aPolitical participation$$zUnited States.$$zLatin America$$0(DLC)sh2008109620 001553134 650_0 $$aPolitical leadership$$zUnited States.$$zRussia (Federation)$$0(DLC)sh2010106949 001553134 650_0 $$aActivism$$zUnited States.$$0(DLC)sh2010014455 001553134 650_0 $$aPolitical activists$$zUnited States.$$0(DLC)sh 98001430 001553134 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001553134 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGlaude, Eddie S., Jr., 1968-$$tWe are the leaders we have been looking for.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, [2024]$$z9780674737600$$w(DLC) 2023039966$$w(OCoLC)1398511812 001553134 830_0 $$aW.E.B.
