Amid the tumultuous impeachment episode of 2019, Heather Cox Richardson began delivering daily Facebook posts, offering historical context to the overwhelming daily news. This venture soon morphed into a widely read newsletter, attracting over 2 million readers keen on her clear-eyed historical analysis of America's present and past.
With Democracy Awakening, Richardson presents an intriguing narrative, detailing how a select group of affluent individuals launched an assault on American principles over time. Through the careful manipulation of language and the promotion of distorted histories, they ushered in an age of authoritarianism—alienating a significant portion of the population and then luring them with promises of a fictional past where they once held prominence. Richardson contends that reclaiming our nation begins with embracing the genuine historical narratives that have consistently been upheld by sidelined Americans. Their steadfast commitment to foundational American values has historically served as a beacon, guiding the nation towards democratic rejuvenation. Using this history as a guide, she envisions a path forward for America.
Richardson's gift is her ability to distill the sprawling, often baffling news cycle into an intelligible tale, pinpointing what is essential, its historical context, and the potential trajectories. In her characteristic straightforward style, she remains both pragmatic and hopeful about democracy's future. Seamlessly drawing from periods ranging from the Founding Era and Reconstruction to the Goldwater years and up to Mitch McConnell, she underscores the enduring impacts of the New Deal, the sustained apprehensions about socialism, and the fall of the liberal consensus and the rise of "movement conservatism."
While numerous books dissect the events of the recent half-decade, Democracy Awakening delves deeper, illuminating the underlying causes, offering genuine historical insights, and outlining potential trajectories for the democratic process.
@HC_Richardson Just finished Democracy Awakening. I have read all of your work & am awed by your ability to draw the threads of our history into a cogent, well-argued, concise, hopeful presentation. Thank you. You should be be our “historian laureate!”
