"The democratic revolution that is sweeping the world is probably the most exhilarating story of our time. This book contains the best-yet collection of documents from these movements. Reading them reminds us--and will help students realize--that democratic political ideas are not dry or old, but thrilling." --Albert Shanker, President, American Federation of Teachers
