Summary
2016 witnessed an unprecedented shock to political elites in both Europe and America. Populism was on the march, fueled by a substantial ignorance of, or contempt for, the norms, practices and institutions of liberal democracy. It is not surprising that observers on the left and right have called for renewed efforts at civic education. For liberal democracy to survive, they argue, a form of political education aimed at 'the people' is clearly imperative. In 'Teachers of the People', Dana Villa takes us back to the moment in history when 'the people' first appeared on the stage of modern European politics.
