About this title

Synopsis

Through the glasses of a woman, a philosopher, a "foreigner" who was at home on five continents: Erica Benner leads us to the sore points of democracy. Born and raised in Japan, she has spent large parts of her life in the UK, has been in South Africa, the USSR, France, Poland, Hungary, Colombia, Germany and China. In these places she has lived and taught and observed various democratic societies up close. In Japan, the concept of "strangers", in England the class differences, in the USA of racism, in China gender issues - one thing becomes clear everywhere: how men talk about women, how majorities over minorities or educated over less educated: equality is and remains an ideal. Erica Benner questions the historical thought leaders of democracy and draws conclusions for the present. Because we need democracy, and democracy needs us.
