Summary
'Untimely Democracy' tells the surprising story of how American authors and activists defined the path of racial progress after the abolition of slavery. Conventional narratives of democracy stretching from Thomas Jefferson's America to the present day posit a purposeful break between past and present as the key to the viability of this political form-the only way to ensure its continual development.
