Unpublished work

Democratization: A Personal View of the World, 1989-1992
        This document (320 pages in PDF) includes a pair of unpublished works that are closely tied to each other. They come out of the global social movements of the years 1989-1992 and my tour around the Atlantic from May to August of 1991, in which I sought to get a closer look at both local and worldwide social interaction. As the events unfolded, I thought this would be my best opportunity ever to see global and historically significant interactions, and I sought to explore them from multiple perspectives.
        The first document, "Memories of Democratization," is an edited version of my journal as I traveled around the Atlantic. It begins in 1989 when I was in Benin Republic during a major social conflict there, reviews preparations for my Atlantic travels, then narrates the voyage from May to July of 1991. This condensed version was prepared in 2007with the assistance of Michael Kamin, to whom I am greatly obliged.

         The second document, "Songs of Democracy," is a narrative and interpretation of the global social interactions of the years from 1989 through 1992. I first drafted it in late 1992 and revised it progressively until 1997, alternating in preparing longer and shorter versions. In it I attempt to alternate among narrative, metaphoric discussion, and analysis to convey an impression of global interaction and change. I showed it to editor after editor, all of whom concluded that there would not be interest in it. After a time I wondered if it was thought that historians should not comment on events so close to the present. I tried twice again after 2007, but each time ran into readers who concluded that it was not appropriate. The version here, while touched up in 2007, is roughly as the manuscript was at the end of 1997.
