Democracy in America Reading Club

Are you interested in diving deeper into American socio-historical political life? In 2025, Athina would like to create a deep reading group to discuss excerpts from Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, originally published in 1835. Tocqueville’s seminal text allows readers to reflect on American culture and ideals as seen through the eyes of an outsider (Tocqueville was French). We’ve created a survey to gauge interest and availability.
