- Title
Democratic Despotism, Democratic Culture, and the Democratic Ideal.
- Authors
Gooding-Williams, Robert
- Abstract
In this paper, I outline Du Bois's WWI-era theory of democracy, which comprises three parts: first, an historically specific explanation of the racially exclusionist character of the modern struggle for democracy; second, a justification of universal suffrage; and third, an account of democratic culture, the promotion of which he believed was necessary to supplement the enfranchisement of black people where white supremacy still threated the achievement of justice.
