- Abstract
"Democracy's Rebirth: The View from Chicago" by Dick Simpson is a book that explores the state of US democracy and offers solutions for its improvement. The author, a former Chicago alderman and political science professor, uses Chicago as a case study to illustrate the challenges facing democracy. Simpson discusses issues such as hyper-polarization and racial divisions in politics, but also highlights positive developments, such as the election of a Black, woman, lesbian mayor in 2019. The book emphasizes the importance of citizen participation and accountability in order to strengthen democracy.
