edit in his book the death of communal liberty a history of freedom in a swiss mountain canton published in 1974 barber reflects on the history of canton graubünden he argued that the inhabitants of the canton regarded freedom as the liberty to live under self government and the right to be bound by own choice instead of rat racing for ever more money and consumer goods the swiss citizen in that canton felt enough solidarity to uphold a community this is why according to barber swiss citizens resisted guest workers in the 1960s and 1970s 13 thesis on strong democracy edit in the 2004 preface to his strong democracy barber explains the central premise of that book once established strongly in the political and civic realm democracy can assure sufficient equality and justice to coexist with a variety of economic systems he goes on to say that his goal in writing that book was not to replace representative with strong democracy but to thicken thin democracy with a critical overlay of participatory institutions barber went on to propose a national initiative and referendum act which would permit americans to petition for a legislative referendum either on popular initiatives or on laws passed by congress honors edit barber s honors included a knighthood from the french government palmes academiques chevalier 2001 the berlin prize of the american academy in berlin 2001 and the

by news station wral barber responded that the analogy to sonderkommandos was an overstatement and not one that i would make in public i stand by the basic view that people of color latinos and
