To break this pattern, Olson suggests an "abolitionist-democratic" political theory that makes the fight against racial discrimination a prerequisite for expanding democratic participation.RacismPolitical aspectsUnited StatesRace discriminationPolitical aspectsUnited StatesDemocracyUnited StatesWhite peopleUnited StatesPolitics and governmentWhite peopleRace identityUnited StatesMulticulturalismUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesPolitics and governmentRacismPolitical aspectsRace discriminationPolitical aspectsDemocracyWhite peoplePolitics and government.White peopleRace identityMulticulturalism323.173Olson Joel1967-1572561MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784114203321The abolition of white democracy3847596UNINA
