Item description from seller

Paperback. Most of us were taught that voting is democracy. It isn't. Voting is one tool - and in a city where one in three homes has been lost to tax foreclosure, where water is shut off and neighborhoods wait while downtown is rebuilt, the ballot box alone has not delivered justice. That gap is where this handbook begins.The Black Detroit Democracy Handbook is a practical, plainspoken guide to reclaiming power in the Blackest big city in America. It takes seriously the reasons so many Detroiters have stopped believing their participation matters - and then shows what real civic power looks like beyond Election Day. Drawing on Detroit's own long tradition of Black political organizing - from the Underground Railroad and the Black Slate to the unions, churches, and block clubs that built and defended the city - it argues that the same collective power that won past victories can be rebuilt now.Inside, readers will find a clear-eyed diagnosis of how Detroit's democracy was weakened, an accessible map of how city government actually works - the charter, the mayor, city council, and the boards and authorities that operate out of public view - and concrete strategies for organizing: building a shared agenda, changing the narratives used against Detroit, choosing and holding leaders accountable, mobilizing neighbors, and using ballot initiatives and the courts.Written for residents, organizers, students, faith leaders, and journalists - for anyone who wants to understand how this city is governed and how it can be reclaimed - this is a guide to turning frustration into power. Voting is not democracy - it's one tool. A plainspoken guide to reclaiming civic power in the Blackest big city in America, rooted in Detroit's own tradition of Black political organizing.
