The perpetual crisis: Reflections on the bicentennial and low politics.

The book examines the occasions in which, during recent years, we have failed to confront the authoritarian culture that continues to exist in our society, but also discusses the times when our youth organized themselves to fight it in the streets and succeeded in defeating it. These successes and failures constitute our current hour and perhaps lay the foundation for a future – still uncertain – that is slowly taking shape before our eyes.
