Abstract
This is a requested book review of Jeffrey Stout's book Blessed are the Organized: Grassroots Democracy in America.
Highlights
The following book review was written years ago and was not released due to an unexpected logistical error at the journal
Stout provides stories detailing how real people organized in the face of disaster or domination, which drive the book’s goal of laying out what he believes will be the best chance to develop genuine and sustained democracy
152 Allyson Carr decision-making powers and responsibilities into the hands of “ordinary” people who consider themselves and act as “citizens”— Stout notes some of these ordinary people who consider themselves and act like citizens are, in legal terms, illegal aliens
Summary
The following book review was written years ago and was not released due to an unexpected logistical error at the journal. Reviewing a book that looks—among other things—at the power of faith-based organizations and churches to shift the political landscape would raise some different questions in 2020 than it did even four years ago, let alone when Stout wrote the book.
