What if democracy was never the liberating force we were told it was? The Wounded Roar: Rethinking Western Democracy dismantles the myth of democracy as the world's universal gift. With piercing clarity, Ansumana A. Kosha traces democracy's origins in Athens, Rome, and the Enlightenment, revealing how freedom for some was built on slavery, empire, and exclusion. From the American experiment written in invisible ink to the French Revolution that ignored Haiti, from the IMF's economic chains to the proxy wars fought in democracy's name, Kosha exposes how democracy has too often been less about l...
What if democracy was never the liberating force we were told it was? The Wounded Roar: Rethinking Western Democracy dismantles the myth of democracy as the world's universal gift. With piercing clarity, Ansumana A. Kosha traces democracy's origins in Athens, Rome, and the Enlightenment, revealing how freedom for some was built on slavery, empire, and exclusion. From the American experiment written in invisible ink to the French Revolution that ignored Haiti, from the IMF's economic chains to the proxy wars fought in democracy's name, Kosha exposes how democracy has too often been less about liberty-and more about control. Written from a Pan-African, Global South perspective, this book amplifies the voices of those long silenced by empire. It is both a critique and a call: to unlearn the myths we've inherited, and to imagine a democracy rooted in dignity, sovereignty, and truth. If you are ready to question what's been sold as "freedom," and to listen to the voices rising beyond the roar of empire, then this book is your guide. The Wounded Roar is not the end of democracy-but the beginning of something more human, more just, and freer.
