What if democracy had become a performance – and citizens, mere spectators?
In an age of noise, speed, and polarization, The Civic Awakening invites us to step back, think slowly, and question deeply.
More than a political essay, this is a call to civic lucidity – a defense of doubt, complexity, and democratic responsibility. With sharp clarity and moral urgency, Dario Mangano challenges the illusions of modern democracies: passive voting, political branding, algorithmic power, and the slow erosion of collective vigilance.
This book is not a protest. It is not an ideology.
It is a mirror.
Drawing from philosophy, sociology, and history, The Civic Awakening exposes the drift from self-government to spectacle – and reclaims what democracy was meant to be: the shared authorship of a people who refuse resignation.
Whether you’re a student, educator, activist, or simply a citizen in search of meaning, this book offers tools – not slogans – for recovering your role in the democratic story.
US Edition – Adapted for an American audience from the French original Le Réveil Citoyen (2025). “The awakening begins here: in the simple act of thinking – freely, fearlessly, together.”We are committed to protecting your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act and working with our suppliers to assist with warranty claims.
